Bolehill Quarry bando in Chesterfield

Came across a video of a guy flying at this site online, we made contact, he says you dont need any permission to fly and he flys there often, wondering if anyone would be interested in a meetup.

Wife will be out with her sister doing shopping on the 8th for baby stuff, so im considering the 8th for a day of fun.

Interested -Yes.

If it’s the 8th Sept, I’ll be enjoying the sunny weather in Turkey.

Any weekend day, after the 16th Sept is good for me.

Jason, let’s pick a date that works for both of us.

I’d suggest editing / adding a poll to your first post along with changing the thread title too, so that others will also join too.

I can do any weekend after 16th Sept.

As Jason says , let one of us know and we can change the title of the thread.

I decided to have a drive up to Bolehill Quarry and scout out what this place actually looks like.

There’s already a group of 6x FPV flyers here, who had visited Drone Feast yesterday.

I been made welcome and they’ve let me have a flight with the Avata 2 whilst they were setting up.

I’ll post my video later, I’m not blasting around they are, still finding my feet flying through buildings.

Yeah, post vids, looking forward to seeing them, is/was it any good?

Yes, I had 2 flights, used up I battery.

The FPV flyers, were whizzing around and I was happy watching.

One of the guys attending, mentioned that he spoke to a guy from GADC, so I assume that must have been you.

Jason this is a regular haunt for fpv -ers I’ve been a couple of times it’s great I’m sure you’ll enjoy :+1:t3:

Is this place on Drone Scene? :thinking:

Been there loads in the past. Careful of the dust when recovering your drones from inside … dodgy stuff!

Been a while, definitely interested in going back some time

Only video I could find… How quaint… Analogue

Edit. Found another

Is it not? Can’t believe that tbh. Bad us… Bad…
