There’s a few places I want to fly / photograph.
I tend to spot them when I’m out on the road at work.
(the photos below are not mine, I just found them on the net to show you where I mean)
Plus, you’ll know these aren’t my photos, mine will be better lol 
Some interesting places that are on my list:
My local rugby stadium (not on match day, obviously!)
Thelwall Viaduct:
Scout Moor Wind Farm:
Winter Hill:
Parbold Hill viewpoint:
Scammonden Reservoir:
Booth Wood Reservoir:
Windy Hill / Saddleworth Moor:
Most of these are in the North West…
I’ll shout when heading out if anyone wants to come with

I’ve flown Windy Hill/ Saddleworth Moor but I didn’t trek too far from the road. I wanna go back and walk deeper into the moors.

Miller and Carter do great steaks don’t they’d
I hadn’t even thought of Haigh Hall, it’s only 15mins from me too!

There is a very specific spot I want to fly and for a very specific reason too.
For many, many years I’ve had this idea for a very specific photo. Details to follow but what is intereting I think is that the idea came to me many many years ago whilst driving up the M6 on my way home. I spotted something to the side of the road and knew that I wanted a photo.
Now the shot I want was impossible for me to take…it would have needed a helicopter.
So obviously it went into my wish list, never to be acheived.
THEN THEY INVENTED COOL CAMERA DRONES!
So trust me when I say that if I manage to get the shot I want, it will be worth the purchase of my Mav just for this alone.
And of course, I will plaster the pic all over here if I get it

Hmmmm… do we get any clues @Maverick?
Another place, not sure if it’s NFZ’d though, what about the Jodrell Bank telescope?
For those unsure of Jodrell, this pic puts the sheer size of it in to perspective

I’d just love to spend a week in North Wales wandering around and flying the drone there is some lovely scenery around there.
Also the Highlands of Scotland and Loch Ness.
Clues? I can tell you that it’s to do with tranportation LOL
It isn’t a grand thing, more a concept for a composition, that’s all
But if the shot turns out as I hope, it will be getting printed on canvas and hung in my house
I hate living in the Midlands sometimes.
Not much around here that is picturesque
The one time I go away where there may be something decent to shoot, we get the tail-end of a hurricane to put the dampners on it 
Drove over the bridge at this place the other day when taking dog to the kennels, so worth a visit in the not too distant future me thinks.
Blithfield Resevoir
Heres a few recent ones from me…

From the midlands, you should visit Shropshire, Mid Wales and North Wales. I could spend the rest of my life flying there!
Certainly will be heading out that way soon.
Got a shoot going on in Dovey Valley soon. Plenty around that neck of the woods
Another place I want to fly is a Solar Farm.
I don’t have a specific one in mind, any will do for now.
Mental note, turn off downward sensors when flying over such places 
Yeah, their blades are a lot bigger than the Mavic’s! 
Ahh, solar farm, not to be confused with a wind farm
I’m guessing the reflections off these things would play havoc with the downward vision sensors 
Ah, my bad. Well, at least there’s a nice acreage of expensive solar panels to crash into.
