I was in the top field and nobody about
Went to bosworth yesterday but to many people about
Trying my luck in Devon for a few days now
I would have gone to Bosworth with you. Hartshill Hayse in nuneaton is another regular spot I like to practice at. At the top of the field over looking atherstone.
Being really new and very nervous of putting 800 pounds in the air I need somewhere where there is a lot of space. I tried out by the canal in brinklow last night but… a bit scary by the water and trees.
Stu the best place is on the top field at Coombe then for people in Cov.
Hi all, just joined as i got my first drone. I am from Coventry and looking for somewhere to practise. I used to fly RC aircraft so not new to the radio control thing.
I was thinking of Brinklow but as was said too many trees and water. Any ideas would be welcome.
Hi @Markb1604 and welcome to Grey Arrows!
If you get five minutes please do post a new thread in #introductions to say hi to the wider Grey Arrows member base
Hi there, I ve been practising on the field next to the old Browns lane site, if you go up coundon wedge drive to the island there is a pull in on the left / right depending on approach, its a farmers field but a public walkway cuts through it. i usually stand there and practise. Never had a problem…yet. Its a bit muddy this time of year, but that keeps most people away i guess.
There is also Coundon playing fields, if your up the far end by the nursery, cant see there being a problem either
Hi all, I live just north of Coventry on the border with Warwickshire. I have the old mines and a former golf course as a front garden. So can take off on my property. I have permission from the main landowner round here to takeoff/land on his fields too. There are two canals, a very picturesque old bridge, pump house and chimney, it’s pretty tree free on the old golf course and no issues from dog walkers/ramblers to date.
So, if you all want to head up here, I’m happy to organise a meet up or welcome you to the area (if you haven’t already guessed where I may be)
Hi Andy
Im quite new here too - see my “hello” in the Intros section with yours.
Im not far away and would be up for a fly day - picking the weather of course;)
Ill PM you…
Yeah I’m up for trying to organise something.
This side of xmas or after?
Either way happy to meet up with you anyway. I need to learn more Mavic stuff, and best way is transfer of knowledge…
Andy
I’m up for a meet up too. I’m in Nuneaton so very local.
Sounds like a date…
I am on the Bedworth side of Coventry. Struggling to find somewhere interesting to fly. New to drones. Can’t work out where you are
Weather is supposed to be much better tomorrow. With even some sun between the clouds!
Anyone wish to meet up in Exhall/Hawkesbury for a pint and fly, or a fly and pint?
There is a nice big, flat and open protected area to practice flying or some canals to practice video/photography.
If there’s interest I’ll post a map for parking or the pub, whichever people wish to do first.
Andy
Im up for it. PM sent:+1:
That +1 should have been a Thumbs Up emoji, oops
Excellent, that’s 3 of us (Markb1604 is coming too)
Shall we say 11am?
Address sent by PM to those interested.
Here’s where we will be if anyone is passing or finds themselves available last minute:
Thanks for orging Andy - Good job;)
