I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene :
Land owner permission obtained.
Ex-Golf course.
Normally lots of FPV flyers
Good for meet-ups.
Parking at weekend is free on road.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 22/10/2023. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.

Somehow not on Drone scene yet!
My video of the Knockholt venue. I’m still getting the hang of the Mini 2 SE and this was quickly put together. It does give a good idea of the layout and size of the area though. It also features ‘the lake’.
Knockholt
[Knockholt 22nd October 2023]
Love this location.
[Knockholt Sept 2023]
Thanks to @RestlessZombi for Two days of company
And @BadManners for the second day.
My video was perfect when I plugged in at home.
Great to use @RestlessZombi digital kit for a flight. Shopping list be prepared, hard to go back to analogue after seeing 1080.
Great day to be off work. 17 seconds of flight
[Morden Park]
The only downside of now using ELRS, is that it can go so far I lost spacial awareness and could not hear the drone and had to circle for a bit. Another excuse to go digital and get a GPS enabled FPV drone.

I have a Mini 2. Having treated myself, I’m actually a bit nervous with it, so a meet, locally, would be fantastic, just to have people around who know what they’re doing, and can offer advice How regular are the Knockholt meets, I live nearby?
I want to fly here @bmsleight , have you got any tips or advice on where to take off from?

If we’re there we usually set up camp / take off from around here - what3words /// The simplest way to talk about location
We often fly 5 inch Quads and Fixed wings so pick somewhere that has more space available then you would need for a Mini 2.
I’m not sure when we are next at Knockholt. There is a proposed meet up there on the 20th April but it’s between going to Knockholt and Morden. LINK
Jason could you add the TOAL marker to the DS map (anyone can add these) Thanks
I’ve just added a new Take Off And Landing marker to this location @bmsleight

Thank you for your response, 20th April is my daughter’s birthday . I’ll keep popping back to see if and when there are local meets.

Keep eye out for a meet-up in May.
Otherwise - it a really good place to just got and fly - got for it.

Same question as to when is the next meet?
This is not too far from me so happy to meet even if there is no scheduled event (assuming that is allowed?).
Go fly it!
It a quiet place.
Knockholt has the edge at the moment. After Big-Meet I start nailing it down.
I’m easy. Have wheels will travel.
May try Knockholt this weekend, if the weather is up to it
@CosmicallyConfused create a new topic in the Meetups section with the date time and location that you’re planning on being there and other members will be able to come and join you You’ll also get yourself a shiny new facilitator badge for organising the meet
