New drone flyer… Although I have been studying the tech for ages I have never got around to investing in one until now… Should have done it years ago :slight_smile:

Hi @sirromS and welcome to Grey Arrows :wave:t2:

Looking for recommendations of places to fly? Check out our interactive map on Drone Scene and please feel free to add locations of your own too :smiley:

Wondering whether you can fly a particular model of drone under particular circumstances? Check out Good 2 Go where you’ll soon find the answer :blush:

Have you seen our Members Map? You may find some members living near you.

Feel free to add yourself to the members map too!

Flying a drone is great fun but sometimes you feel the need to have a purpose for doing so and the Challenges category provides some great reasons for you to fly.

There are regular challenges which are open to all, that attract members of all abilities. Support, advice and constructive criticism is freely available; still photography, video and the techniques for editing both are involved in the challenges. Suggestions, for subjects or for complete challenges, are always welcome - take a look in the Challenges category for more information.

We’re a well established club with many knowledgeable members so it’s very likely that any issues you come across will have been discussed here before. Our discussion forum has very powerful search features which should help you find what you need but if you get stuck you can post a new question in the Questions & Answers category.

And finally, if you are new to drones and wondering what it’s all about, have a look at Resources for a beginner.

Welcome once again!

hi, @sirromS

I tend not to fly around Chippenham itself, but if staying local-ish, i tend to fly around the Marlborough / Pewsey / Vale of the White Horse areas.

There are some great places round here - check out the Dronescene link @milkmanchris sent you as part of the joining stuff.

From my own perspective, i started on things like ancient hill forts and crop circles etc - loads in the area, and easy to shoot (they dont move and tend to be away from towns, crowds) as well as particular hobbies of mine to explore :grinning_face:

Happy flying!

Nice one, thanks :slight_smile:

Quick question if you don’t mind: I’ve been studying Dronescene, DroneMap & DroneSafetyMap etc and I see a bunch of areas in yellow. Can they be flown with caution or is it easier to avoid them? I would like to fly at Westbury White Horse (when it’s not busy) but not if if Im going to cause any issues
