Hello from Alfreton, Derbyshire

Introductions

Hi, I’ve finally decided to move up in the world from a pair of old Hubson X4s that I flew with my daughters to a DJI Neo. Hoping to get some nice family and scenic footage while out and about.

The aim is to also get more experience flying and maybe step into FPV at some point. CAA operator and flyer IDs sorted and the first test flight went well, looking forward to falling into another hobby rabbit hole.

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

Looking for Public Liability Insurance? Then look no further, we offer £5,000,000 worth of cover to our Insured Members. Details of our insurance can be found at:

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 Mark, welcome aboard. I live in Morton, not far from Alfreton. I’m relatively new to flying drones myself and I’m always looking for new places to fly and gain more experience. Any suggestions you may have in the vicinity would be much appreciated. :grin:

Thank you all for the warm welcome, and hope to catch up with some of the locals at some point in the future (when this wind dies down a bit !)
