Netherlands
Rivers Round Rotterdam
You are following the river / canal complex for the entire flight after WP 1, so I haven't cluttered up the waypoint descriptions by repeating that each time.
WP 7 is a white suspension bridge, nicknamed 'The Swan'.
The terrain here is very flat and the turnpoints are easy to spot so this flight works well at 500ft altitude. Fly at 1000 ft to see more features.
