Should be some good flying around Torcross, the tank, the beach, the village, and nature lake should all make some good shots. Startpoint lighthouse will be amazing if you get a good sunny dayI'll be on holiday with my Mavic in July around Torcross area.
Do you think there'll be no issues taking it around the lighthouse? Both interference and permission?Should be some good flying around Torcross, the tank, the beach, the village, and nature lake should all make some good shots. Startpoint lighthouse will be amazing if you get a good sunny day
None at all. Take off from the car park, fly down the pathway to the lighthouse. Will be a stunning video. I might do that myself when the weather gets better. Maybe July [emoji4]Do you think there'll be no issues taking it around the lighthouse? Both interference and permission?
Further to our conversation I contacted the Lighthouse who passed my request on to the "managers" of the Estate. I have just read and re-read the reply. Apparently they'd like a payment of £150 to cover one person flying one drone for personal and non commercial reasons.None at all. Take off from the car park, fly down the pathway to the lighthouse.

You can imagine my reply I've sent back to them. Although I did stop short of telling them that I could fly my drone there without their permission simply by flying over the sea.
This is per flight. I'm not sure if they plucked this cost out of thin air or not but I'd suggest it's a huge cost for a one time flight.That's pretty steep. But in some ways better than many places who simply ban all drones.
For example most if not all National Parks ban drones. Drones are banned from all National Trust land - including the extensive coastline they control.
In fact they are banned without further question from most places.
If the National Trust charged £150 a year to fly on their land I'd probably pay it!
