I’m organising a club meetup at Barr Beacon :smiley:


Where:

When: Sunday, 4th October 2026

Start time: 10:00

Approximate end time: 14:00

Suitable for drone types: Camera Drones & FPV Drones

      I'll be there!     Thinking about it

Additional notes:
As usual one of us will be there for 10am. The first one of us who is there will park in front of the blue binoculars and the other will park a few car widths away to make the chat area. Check the map so you get the right entrance.

Height restriction of 2.67m / 8.9ft use the left lane to avoid tyre damage as there are two lanes (right if you are coming out).

A great location for people who have any mobility issues as you can fly from your car and should it rain then you can sit in your car until it stops. No toilets on site but look on map for places.

Message the forum if you have difficulty or one of us direct.

Got a remote control car… bring it too. Off road one? Ask about the off road area for the car. (I have knackered my car at the big meet and it needs some urgent repair)

Not got a drone, thinking about it, plenty of drones to have a look at and lots of advice. Just join the chat area. Do not forget to bring a chair and sit with us when you are not flying. It's a social meet and a flying meet so some join us when not flying. Don't forget to come and see me when you get there (somewhere by the orange or blue car) so we can check you in.

Official end time is 2pm but when we have in the past been known to stay longer.

Anyone left are free to stay and fly or chat for a bit. If you do let us know you got back safe.

P.S. if you see there is no space to sit with us and you have brought a chair. I will see you and we can move a car or move chairs around. No one will be left out.

See you there. As weather starts to get colder these meets will start to cease again. No one likes being cold and especially at this high up.
Always good to see you all.
(if you get there Early we have been told Asda opens at 10am)

What a great meet. Welcome PhillSss to the Barr Beacon meet, to grey arrows and now a gold member.

It’s the people that make the meet, whilst the meet officially starts at 10am, we usually go earlier to pick litter from the Saturday night idiots who go there for other reasons (we remove the canisters and other bits). During this time of clean up we get thanks from the dog walkers. It appears all the dog walkers are talking about “The Drone people” saying how good we are clearing litter and being respectful to the public. Now I have Robert bringing gadgets to that I really want. These meets her expensive. More people by the name of Phil are joining. Robert… I will be getting some when funds say yes. Thanks so much to our Welsh friends @rob7 and his other half for the food. It’s a party up on Barr Beacon. A thanks to all our regulars there. We have made some good friends. We fly but a lot of chat and fun. Tim managed to miss the tree, binay hit a bush but blamed it on jamming lol. A couple of drones were lost and found. We have been made aware of a drone being lost at another location. So hopefully we will get a few people together and create a hunting meet. These Sundays are great fun, relaxing, conversational and just a nice time. Thanks to @foleymrs for setting this one up.

Again, a thanks to each and every one of you for making the meet up so great.

New people. Bring a chair
