Any good places to fly around Northampton?

I have unexpectedly got to travel over to the Northampton area on friday of this week (Daventry, to be exact !).
Has anyone got any suggestions of good places to fly in that area?
I shall take my drones and weather permitting get in a bit of flying.

Go see @Njoro and head down to Rockingham , or the very good viaduct (he’ll tell you the name)

Rockingham & Welland Viaduct are both doable (about 40 miles away)
just see what the weathers like on the day.

Unfortunately I’m not available on Friday otherwise I’d have joined you for a flight at Harringworth Viaduct also known as Welland viaduct.

Not to worry Lance, weather looking like shite anyway !.
Would have been nice to meet up with a fellow Examiner.
Another time !.

No worries, we can look forward to better weather over the next few week…we could do the gliding club for a drag race, speed test down the runway too.

All charged up with 4 drones to go, weather looking promising for the Viaduct, if not will do the Daventry Reservoirs.
Just need to find a decent Pub for a meal and a Pint now !.
If anyone is around the area let me know( @notveryprettyboy )
Should be in the Daventry area from about 9 am onwards.

You got a post code Karl?
At Daventry Reservoir at the moment.
Heading up to Harringworth Viaduct in about an hour.

@chrisjohnbaker what a nice day, pity I’ll miss it. Have you thought of driving through Nasby to take in the monument for the battle that took place there? It’s on your way heading for Market Harborough ,Corby…
