Disappointing trip out to Derwent Dam today. 'no drone flying' signs in several spots. Shame really its a great spot.

Bah unlucky, i was there just before Christmas and it is beautiful!
Im not condoning flying where these signs are present but, how enforceable are they?
If it is not an NFZ or private property like National Trust land (which you cant even fly over let alone take off and land) for example, i thought it was just some disgruntled busybody putting them up. Please correct me if i am wrong as i may of missed something.
It is understandable if there are nesting birds / wildlife that may be affected but that would be seasonal.
I wouldnt fly there either way, we need more friends than enemies. Its just nice to know why certain freedoms are taken away sometimes.

I suspect we will see more "signs" as Christmas present drones take to the sky. I adhere to NFZ, and Airmaps, and "signs", as I wish to be a good pilot steward. I have a few spots left and try to be very considerate of other people when present. Happy New Year.
