Hello from Salford / Manchester

[StevenPSCC]

Hello all I'm Steve from Salford, just got myself a Mavic after returning the Karma to the store. Didn't make the right original choice I thought as I was in the GoPro eco system that It was going to work for me. Absolutely loving the Mavic now I have one

Good evening Steven.


New pilot here too (haven't even got the thing in my hands yet!!...tomorrow)

I'm just down the road from you near the airport.

Any suggestions on good places to fly around Manchester?

Still on the lookout for places, I have spent my first few flights local to me whilst I get a feel for the MP. My list of places to go include Peel tower in Bury, Rivington reservoir, Winter hill ( but think the radio mast will be an issue ) Heaton Park.

I've seen a few vids on YT around the Winter mast, didn't seem to affect them

I've got Manchester Ship Canal on my list of places to check out too, perhaps somewhere near Thelwall Viaduct - but not near enough to distract the drivers lol

Scouthead moor wind farm should be another good one?

And Parbold somewhere, that's pretty high up too.

Steven - Hi! Just this minute joined this forum, so hello everyone! I'm a newbie owner of a Mavic pro and love it! I've been asked if I could take some footage and photos at Heaton Park, as it's one of their favourite places to spend leisure time etc. They want to be able to get a couple of the photos framed for their walls around their house etc. I'm new to the legality of it all but after doing quite a bit of reading and research I'm beginning to think it's a forbidden hobby just about anywhere! So, strictly speaking, am I allowed to fly my drone in Heaton Park? Do I need to get permission from anyone before I do? There seems to be a few bits of footage of HP on YouTube but of course I've no idea whether they did it with permission or just chose a quiet day to do it regardless. I live south of Manchester Airport so I'm also on the lookout for good, safe, worry-free place to go and fly this wonderful piece of kit! Sorry for the long post, and TIA for any guidance/advice etc. Cheers, Chris
