Hello, from South Devon

Hi, everyone.
Just recently got into the drone flying hobby with my Dji Mini 2.
At the moment just trying to find some interesting locations to fly around South Devon.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. But please bear in mind my flying skills still need some honing.

Hi, Try Bigbury and Burgh Island. Do it whilst the tide is out so that you’re always over land. Also East Portlemouth and fly over the water to Salcombe if you want to take the risk. There are plenty of places in and near Plymouth - The Hoe, Mount Batten, Hooe Lake, Saltash Bridge, Calstock Viaduct, etc. Best of luck.

Thanks.
Will give them a try. Not enough bottle just yet about flying over water.

Be wary of restrictions to flying in certain areas on the Hoe and Citadel. I’d look at Altitude Angel or another good source, to make certain.

Thanks.
Being new to the hobby I’m trying to stay within the law but finding it quite confusing at the moment. Appreciate the advice.

Just a small NFZ around the Citidel. The main part of the Hoe including the War Memorial, Tinside, Smeaton Tower and West Hoe look clear.

Cheers, @Tonyd when I looked yesterday there were Notam warnings for a good deal more? Have fun, anyway!

I’m going to avoid any built up areas for time being. Sticking to the countryside
