Intro - NEW - Berkshire Flyer

Hello “Grey Arrows”

I’m a new member based out of Windsor Berkshire.
Owned a DJI Pantom 4 Pro from when it was first released but fell out of love with the hobby over restrictions/complications on flying.

Last week I got a DJI Mini Pro 4… and flying looks less complicated.

Really interested in flying to blend into my other hobbies:
Kayaking/Paddle Boarding - can’t wait to test the follow me options on this new drone.
Fishing - used to put up my old drone to look down on my syndicate lakes to find the fish.
General photography and video captures of interesting things.

Interested to learn of interesting flight locations near me - Berkshire or wider.
All ideas welcomed!

Regards

Indexer (AKA Nik)

Thanks Kirky.
Windsor is a great place but with a Kings castle, 2 army barracks and most of the countryside near me being owned by the King (Crown Estate) - flying seems unlikely to be local trips.
Anyways… good meet… I’ll see if I can see your content…

Myself have looked or tried rather seeing how close I can get to flying Windsor & as you rightly say, it is somewhat a nightmare for better words trying to find a good place to TOAL with no hassles or restrictions so I’ve kinda stayed away in regards to flying, so my last visits to Windsor was eating, drinking, partying / clubbing & cloths shopping etc etc :sweat_smile: good old days, I still talk to a few of my friends that live out there, not as much as I used to tho, lovely place !
