Hi Everyone,
recently moved to the UK before covid-19 hit, new flyer here!!
Any pilots in Lancashire that can provide any good areas for my maiden flight?
Are there any female pilots out here?

Female members are few and far between, but there is one new female meber that I know is also from your part of the world.

Welcome @njnow02 there are quite a few pilots in GADC in your area. I’m in Sale. Happy to help if nobody else pops up, but I’m away until next weekend.

Hey @kvetner! Thats great, I’m in Bolton so not terribly far away.
This coming weekend isn’t great for me either but happy to fly about in two weeks time if you’re up for one as well.

I could potentially meet mid week in this region I cover All of Greater Manchester with work so could justify a trip

Evenings are all I can do at the moment.
The place we flew at the previous meet is perfect on a weekend at dawn but full of teenagers in the evening during the week.

Whew it’s been a while since I came on here, sorry for that been working on my masters.
Finally got my drone marked and registered and ready for a maiden flight.
Does anyone want to meet up for a flight around Angelzark/Rivington this coming weekend?
@TonyDM @Mercy
If not, any tips on where to setup?
Chat Soon!

Wish I could come, but if I get out I’ll be treasure-hunting so no time for relaxation!
If you go to Anglezarke early (7-8am), this is a good spot that we have used previously:
I’ve also flown from somewhere around here (can’t recall the exact spot):
Watch out for low-flying planes over the reservoir, and if you go to the second spot, watch out for any cows in the field.
At Rivington I’ve parked at what3words /// The simplest way to talk about location and walked up to what3words /// The simplest way to talk about location to fly (note - take the lower of the two paths from the car park, the eastern one is a real scramble). You can also fly from near the tower (what3words /// The simplest way to talk about location) if it’s not too busy.
