Hi @Stevelev75, I’ve been wondering about taking the drone out at a couple of places up near you, either the Dream Sculpture or St Joseph’s College at Up Holland. The second of those probably wouldn’t be for a beginner, but it may be possible to fly at Ashurst Beacon or Beacon Country Park nearby.
I’m also looking at going back to the Manchester Ship Canal soon, although the spots I’m thinking about require permission from Barton Aerodrome. If the weather forecast is okay, I’ll get to one of these various spots this weekend, so let me know if you fancy meeting up. For a first outdoor flight you might be better off just in a nearby park or field with plenty of open space and few people around; going out early is the best for that.
