North West Meet Up, 16th July 2023

Not knowing hkw far was our worry.

@Foley
I seems pretty close now it’s been shown. (i did see you ask the question when you asked it prior to the meet)

I wouldn’t see any problems with @FoleyMrs getting down to the fair ways. The first part of the car park might have other walk downs. Maybe wait for a couple of dry days, but I have ZERO doubt we’ll all be back sometime :slight_smile: hopefully in less wet weather!

I would like to thank everyone that attended this Meet up and the others that considered it but couldn’t make it for other reasons and or the weather :cloud_with_rain:

@Speedbird Mike, you should have come :wink:

A special shoutout to @sachasb for getting his dad @stevesb out of his pit at an ungodly hour
so he could claim the first prize of being the first one there :joy: and his amazing flying skills that after only his 3rd battery was doing power loops :scream:

Thanks Again to everyone that came it was a pleasure to meet you all, and some new Friends made and great to see the old ones again

Considering the weather wasn’t the best we had a fun time flying and chatting plus the inevitable piss-taking :joy: but all in all fantastic day with likeminded people :clap:

Just a side note:

If anyone is a little apprehensive about attending a meet, please try not to be we are all just like you and we also may feel that as well but remember it’s all about having a fly, chatting and learning new things, your level of flying makes no difference. We were all at that point once :wink:

Thanks for sorting @RemoteIDsaveslives , and so glad I did make it there, very nearly didn’t!

This indeed… I turned up to willington on my first meet with the guys here, with a Emax Tinyhawk 2 analogue 1S drone… lol… Did anyone take the piss, or berate me?! No… They only do that now I have slightly more drones, lol!

Hiya,

Nope, no goggles, just MINI3 Pro with the RC screen, although I did have good VLOS for almost all of the flights… Why do you ask?

At least another 2 drones near me in the last shot, two other MINI3 and possibly an Avata or two as well… It was fun :slight_smile:

It’ll glue, we’ve had worse
UHU POR to the rescue :+1:

Probably not in current condition (see sciatica thread). Walking is a bit more limited right now (more then usual). We will see at a later date.

We were like this at the big meet. We did not know what to expect. We had a great time and anyone new to a meet should come if you can. Great bunch of people. Due to not actually knowing this one we were going to attempt to see if we could make it. Weather was a concern and with @FoleyMrs in a lot of pain it was decided on this occasion not to go even though car was loaded.
