I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Land owner permission not required.
I parked in Hooten Lane, small parking area right next to the canal, what3words /// The simplest way to talk about location from here you can directly access the canal towpath and walk up towards Leigh or towards Manchester, plenty of photo opportunities in the area. Towpath is flat so easily accessible on foot or cycle.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 01/08/2022. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
