We are looking at having a meet-up in July at a disused Golf course near Wigan

Beacon Golf Course

All are welcome, any type of drone :+1:

We have 2 dates in mind

  • 2nd July
  • 16th July

Probably look at an early start 6 am to 8 am but will hopefully stay until the afternoon

There is an option to have a fly, over the road at the disused College

Know it well, fly here all the time, it’s deserted by golden hour but car park attracts doggers :face_with_peeking_eye:.

Also local landmark the Beacon is close by.

I’m in👍.

Either date suits, although the 2nd is me Bday, I’ll be up early doors anyway…thats old age though🤣.

There are toilets at the clubhouse to which we’ll be using the car park and there’s also a cafe in there people can get a bite to eat. Don’t know any prices or quality, or times of opening (probably 10am being Sunday) but can find out

Local shops and the pub are only a mile away in UpHolland.

Asda is only around 1.5 miles away as the crow flies but will take around 5 mins due to road lay out.

The Golfy is great for flying. There’s different TOAL sites what I’ve used, either open field on top a hill or fields with large trees knocking about with loads of gaps👍. Not to far of a walk from the car park. Of course it was a Golfy so if these don’t suit…its bloody big and there’s much, much more.

And most of all, Sunday mornings up there are so quiet people wise you can hear a proverbial pin drop​:+1::+1:… That’s when you havnt got Avata’s flying about…

If it were a weekender, and not just a day, I’d consider it.

There is also the wall to consider as mentioned here.

You can make it a weekender, them girls in Blackpool would help you :wink:

We’ll strap you in to keep you safe.

Not called the Vegas of the North for nothing

I saw “Wigan” and I thought … nah … then I saw the map and figured out it was Upholland and … yay!

I’ll try to be there. Although not for bloody 6am, that’s mad stuff.
