Welcome Colin
Hi Colin / @Assassin9277 , and welcome to GADC. 
An ever increasing number of our members also own the M2P … so you are amongst good company.
If you haven’t already, take a look at the Map of Members and you’ll see there are a few other members in your neck of the woods, some of whom I’m sure will come and say Hi.
(Don’t forget to add yourself to that map : How to add yourself to the Members Map )
The forum’s search functions are a very efficient way to find previous threads and posts that might already have covered topics in which you are interested in learning more or answer that niggling question but, when this doesn’t turn up what you’re after, there’s a wealth of knowledge amongst the members, so ask away over on #questions-and-answers.
Also, if you’ve not seen it, check out our map of places where members have flown in the past … which, obviously, doesn’t necessarily mean they are still OK to fly and, as always, any pilot needs to check that everything’s OK before flying at any of them.
Please also take a moment to look at the Membership Levels section on our FAQ .
Welcome aboard!

My local Park is open 24/7 and I find flying very early morning /late evening better, purely on the basis that it’s the quietest time of the day.
You may get the early dog walkers/joggers out, but in my opinion that would be the optimum time to fly.
Have fun, the Mavic 2 Pro is a fabulous drone !.

Excuse my rudeness @Assassin9277 !, a big welcome from one of the regulars here at GADC, keep safe, fly true, and enjoy your new found hobby !.
highfield park looks a possibility.
I was thinking about Wollaton park but not sure who I need to ask for permission and with the goose fairs site prob a bit risky as it’s a bad area all sorts hang round there lol

From @milkmanchris too if we are talking about ourselves in the third person.
Used to work in Nottingham, visit now again, I think your best looking west of the city with the NFZ’s around.
Thanks for the information I live across the road from a nature reserve but think that would be a no no
I was looking at the field near brian clough way , it looks like public acesss and no flight resrictions
