Hi Ash,
Welcome to the only Brits Only Drone Club. Canāt help you with places to fly around Ipswich but Iām sure someone on here will offer some advice.
Iāve had my Mavic for 9 months and love it -at the expense of my Inspire which sells tomorrow. Keep practising, try the various semi-autonomous flights, definitely practice in Atti mode when you feel comfortable, and your pleasure in flying this great little machine will grow greatly.

Welcome to GADC, Ash. Very pleased to have you with us. I think most of us would pay money to have a āprivate fieldā to fly in but I understand your āwearinessā (or were you just being āwaryā? 
) at flying in one place. Iām sure youāll get some help from our great members.
Lol thanks for having me. Yes I suppose I am lucky in some respects as it has helped me with my flying skills. Itās pretty addictive this game. When Iām not flying I spend time studying the app and YouTube. Sad hey.
Iām a self employed carpenter and retained firefighter so the Mavic lives in the cab of my van. If I finish a job early or come back from a shout and have Time Iāll sneak off for a couple batteries worth. Shhhhh domt tell the mrs 
Haha, youāre not alone. I learnt most of my Mavic - and Spark - knowledge from YouTube vids. And donāt worry, GADC is a safe haven where spousal secrets are concerned. 
Cheers Barry will do. I donāt want to run before I can walk with the Mavic but have been having a blast with it In sports mode. Had a play with a few of the app modes. Point of interest and all that and Thatās pretty cool
Excellent. Well I look forward from learning From you guys 
Hi there @Ashmav and welcome to the Grey Arrows 
Ha! I did something similar, just not as private, I used some local woods and scrubland at the crack of dawn! Cut my teeth on beginner mode for a long time before I was brave enough to venture out without my restrictions 
I think we all do that 
Lost count of the hours of tutorials and promo vids I watched while waiting weeks for my Mavic to arrive. A lot of it was really informative though 
Good to have you on board mate, check out https://dronescene.co.uk for possible places to fly, and please post some there too
Welcome aboard mate, Drone Code?? lol i have had my mavic about 3 months now, luckily enough to live on the edge of the countryside with loads of fieldsā¦ i like fookin with things so have been playin with mods etcā¦ pushin the limits. i come from a RC background (fixed wing and helis ) so not scared of ditching the Birdā¦ " what goes up"ā¦ just enjoy it allā¦ and take loads of shots and footageā¦
Sounds like you know yours stuff. Iām about 5 mins away from the country side but just knowing were I can go were I wonāt piss to many people off
I dont know much just trial and errorā¦ IMO, countryside is free reign, check the dji app for NFZ and you should be ok, as long as you dont " Buzz houses or people"ā¦ have a look in media you will see my āback yardā i have very poor editing skills and have no idea about photographyā¦Lol
Lol well I have plenty of fields around me so I sopose Iām lucky. I donāt mind if it goes down in a open field. At least I can retrieve it
