Hi everyone
Never flown a drone before and have been digesting lots of information from this club and others. I come from a DLSR background and got the drone to extend what I can photo.
Somewhat devastated that the New Forest is out of bounds as I have spent a lot of time cycling through there and know some good places. Ho hum 
Cheers

Hi Mark - welcome to GADC 
Only within the perambulation boundary. Plenty of places in the wider National Park to fly in and around with no issues…
Welcome BTW…
Edit!! … The boundary has actually been extended but there’s still plenty of places to fly from. my take on it is any cattle grid you cross over then that’s when it becomes dodgy with drones. But you can fly on private land within the forest with the landowners permission.
Out of bounds? 
In what respect @Maverick34 ?
There are lots of recommendations on Drone Scene for New Forest
And there is some significant irony in every single video on the background of their web site being taken with a drone 
Welcome from Bournemouth 
and the New Forest 
Not so much “out of bounds” as “tightly controlled”.
By whom?
Dunno - Forestry Commision maybe? Or New Forest District Council who I think wrote the rules (?)
Me neither.
You said it, I was hoping you’d have some idea? 
NFDC have no jurisdiction over the National Park Authority.
The below may help you that I posted in the past…
This bit is particularly bollocks
Note: even if you take off from private land you may not fly over public land without permission.
Thanks for the info Hants Flyer. My knowledge in this subject I very limited but from what I understand after reading the available internet published information there are tight restrictions within this national park
Thanks for all the feedback and welcome messages.
Welcome aboard.
Shame about the New forest but you live in a fabulous part of the country Im sure you’ll find some new subject matter.

Hi there, hope you have a great time here a we do. Plenty of people to make friends with and plenty of advice when needed.
Belated welcome, also from Bournemouth.
Better off heading west down the coastal areas from Poole (Corfe Castle is mostly flyable with caveats, lots of vids from Old Harry, etc) than North East (NT areas).
Happy flying!
