That’s the attitude to have in this hobby. Go out and fly and enjoy it. As long as you know you’re flying safely that’s all that matters.

Don’t forget, a NOTAM isn’t always a flight restriction.
More often than not a NOTAM is just an advisory that other things may be in your airspace (eg, weather ballon launches or laser light shows) at a given time on a given date. Most of them do not prevent you flying there.
Always read the detailed text of the NOTAM

Yeah this has taken me a bit to get my head around. There are a couple of military areas I want to fly in so knowing when they are in operation is difficult to find out sometimes.
Unless it’s a place they keep the exercises as secret, they are generally published, but they don’t make them easy to find. E.g. for the shooting range near me I have to specifically google ‘Kingsbury Firing Range timings’ to have any real chance of finding the timings.
