An oldie but goodie - Yak 50 engine loss and deadstick landing. The GoPro is mounted on the pilot's helmet so you get a sense of how he's finding a place to set down.
Luckily for him the area wasn't capped.

wow I'm amazed at how quickly it stopped then saw no gear down. Wow. :uhoh

Wonder if he would of made it gear down, or was the ground too soggy for that?

it looked pretty muddy, and there were some trees out just a ways.

Right call...gear up....soft soil, and gear sticking =Cartwheel or flip.
Thought he might grab some of those straight roads but with English Hedgerows being what they are.....
Most importantly he remembered the #1 rule of ditching....never ever stall!
Beautiful country, the lake district:)

Wow! Any landing you walka way from huh?
-
I love the moment that he climbs a little to clear that rock wall!

Can't complain if you can walk away from it.
I was always lucky, all 4 power losses I had occurred over an airport......one of 'em was at 75' after takeoff.....but got to a runway each time.
