Drone flyers in Leicester UK area?

[Scubadiver1944]

Just trying to make contact with flyers in the Leicester region in UK regarding any sites within a reasonable distance where one can legitimately fly. Leicester City Council policy is no drones from city owned parks or open spaces, except if using facilities of Braunstone Flyers who fly mainly fixed wing petrol driven craft at a site on Braunstone Park. A club has also been set up meeting on Sunday afternoons at the Gate Hangs Well pub near Syston and the site appears quite scenic (river, field and trees nearby) Would appreciate any contacts and ideas.

You need to make friends with a farmer. Explain you can look at his fencing and inspect the roof of out buildings sheds etc. NO MONEY IS TO BE EXCHANGED OR GIFTS RECEIVED this would be classed as commercial work and you just want somewhere to fly. You must have an email from the farmer or hand written permission otherwise should yo crash your insurance company is unlikely to pay out. I would also suggest some basic insurance with public liability just in case your drone crashes on a roof, car or person.
