Hi, I’m a new member living 0.5 miles from Chew Valley Lake, flying with a Mini 3 Pro, Mini 4 Pro, DJI Air 3 and a Mavic 3 Classic, but rarely use anything apart from the Air 3. will get some flying locations and photos uploaded on here soon as i work it out.

Hello Colin, South Bristol calling…Know Chew Valley well, especially Salt & Malt!
Only had my Mini 4 for a few months, the lake is on my list to fly.
Welcome aboard.
hi, just outside Bristol and about 15 miles from Bath, most of my flights are over Bath, quickly changing from a nice Georgian city to a student campus.
hi, the lake is perfect for testing out the new drones and features etc, make sure you go to the second car park, not the main one with the cafe, went there with my first Phantom 2 over 10 years ago, took me 7 years to get the courage to fly around the island, definitely an age thing.
Welcome to Grey Arrows Colin, hope you enjoy it as much as the rest of us do…
Hi Colin - welcome to GADC 
thankyou, Gorseinon brings back a few memories, used to deliver toys and beach goods from camarthen - st davids and all along the gower coast, was before the days of mobile phones, so once i left the yard thats was it till i got back, no contact asking when you will get to certain shops etc, and paper tachos, and for timed deliveries, just simply change time on the handheld machine we used, i pity the poor delivery drivers these days
thankyou, it certainly seems a lot more friendly and helpful than any other groups i joined (and left)
Welcome not been Chew Valley in ages . Might give it a go 
Welcome
I’m new to drones and have a mini 4 Pro.
I’m based in Bath and have done some flying around the lakes but need to come back
hi, have you been to kensington meadows (parking in morissons) thats a good place with river views etc, but by far the best for all the developments going on by midland bridge, is to drive slowly through locksbrook cemetery, to the twin chapels, take off from there for some good views, met loads of dog walkers there and all interested in seeing the videos etc, not one bad meeting there so far
Welcome
