Hi, I’m awaiting delivery of a Neo 2, I’ve obtained the Flyer and Operator IDs and, although not necessary, considering the A2 CoC just for the knowledge. I’m keen to photo and video in my area but am aware of the no fly zones due to the Oldbury and Berkeley nuclear power stations, so advice of best flying spots with good photo opportunities would be welcome.

Flying a drone is great fun but sometimes you feel the need to have a purpose for doing so and the Challenges category provides some great reasons for you to fly.
There are regular challenges which are open to all, that attract members of all abilities. Support, advice and constructive criticism is freely available; still photography, video and the techniques for editing both are involved in the challenges. Suggestions, for subjects or for complete challenges, are always welcome - take a look in the Challenges category for more information.
We’re a well established club with many knowledgeable members so it’s very likely that any issues you come across will have been discussed here before. Our discussion forum has very powerful search features which should help you find what you need but if you get stuck you can post a new question in the Questions & Answers category.
And finally, if you are new to drones and wondering what it’s all about, have a look at Resources for a beginner.
Welcome once again!
