There have been a few discussions about a meet-up, so I thought I’d put up a dedicated thread here and see if we can actually make this happen! I’ll tag people in the comments who have shown an interest or who I know are nearby.
I think the main thing we need is a suitable location - most places I have flown are ok for a couple of drones at a time, but are likely to get complaints if there is a larger group. We need a place and time where we won’t bother too many other people. I’m wondering about Anglezarke Reservoir / Winter Hill, but I’ve not flown there before. For anyone who doesn’t mind a bit of a hike (this may not include me!), a lot of the hilly bits round there are Open Access land.
I’m up for it. Anglezarke sounds good if there’s enough parking where we pick. Not sure about winter hill , getting old.
Other suggestions, could be good. I’m going to wrack my brains.
Southport beach (and pretty much all of that coastline) is a Site of Scientific Special Interest. Natural England claim you need a license to fly in these; the actual legalities are a bit murky. I’d be happy to fly there from the legal side, but would prefer to avoid having to drive there
