Hello all, I’m a new member based in the Northwest, had my drone Air2S for a couple of years but not had enough confidence to go out and fly. Have been reading some of the topics on here and decided to give it my all.

What about dronescene? have you checked that out?

It’s a standard welcome message that has all the information in one place for new members 👍🏻

You said you was lacking in confidence to go out and fly, dronescene has locations that other members have flown and gives you all the information for that location to help you feel more confident knowing that others have flown there, most of the locations suggests take off spots and parking spots. Really gives you a confidence boost knowing that others have flown there before 👌🏻

Welcome John. Keep an eye out for a meet up. As Wayne said join [@group-northwest](https://greyarro.ws/groups/group-northwest) and get notified of when and where a meet is being organised.  
Some are short notice some a few weeks in advance. There will be plenty of friendly faces at these meets. One or two ugly ones the majority are quite passable. But you will find plenty of people ready to give advice and get you in the air. Even to the detriment of them flying. And there is a wealth of knowledge.

Your profile said you’re in Prestwich, that’s only 15mins by car.

Probably even quicker by telephone 😃
