Welcome, Kami-kino

Just had a look at Tunbridge Wells on Drone Scene, and 3 areas suggested themselves, Lower & Upper Cricket Grounds (I’m guessing the sound of willow on leather has finished for the season) and Southfields Park. Can’t comment on dogs, but I’ve had no trouble with them flying in my local parks. Southfields has a yellow border identifying it as a possible hazard, but this is because it’s a park and many of them do, because large groups of people may congregate there and you don’t want to be flying over crowds, but while it may well be busy on a Saturday morning when everybody turns up to watch their kids play football, parks are fine at quieter times.
