New to the Site - Derbyshire Area

Hi all,

Newby drone flyer here, just picked up a DJI Mini Pro 4 and looking forward to my first flight. Doing all the research first and will get my flyer ID and Operator ID later today hopefully, well apply at least.

Any good recommendations for places to fly? Close to the peak district for example. Tempted to try in Graves park as it is quite a large park, just not sure if that is ‘allowed’ - still understanding it all.

Frequent visitor to Cornwall also, so keen to capture some of that beautiful place.

From a quick look around, this clubs looks great, well done to those that maintain it!

Best Wishes
Dan

@cyberdrone welcome! :wave:

Hey, the best tip I’ve got is to keep the quad in the car whenever you’re heading out. That way, if you come across an amazing spot, you’re ready to fly! The District National Park does have byelaws, but as long as you use common sense and steer clear of people, you should be fine.
