Hi from South Wiltshire, UK

Hi everybody from the South of England

I’m a complete newbie when it comes to flying drones (and anything else really) but have a long-term interest in photography and the prospect of owning a quality camera that can fly was too good to miss. I’ve got a Mavic Pro 2 on order which hopefully will turn up next week – can’t wait!

Now I’ve got to find somewhere to fly it which is proving harder than I thought. I’d be most grateful for intel on good spots around the Salisbury area.

Hi Mystiko. I'm near Salisbury. Completely new to droning and looking for places nearby to fly (legally)

You aren’t spoilt for choice near the countryside, just stay away from some of the military sites!

Generally Iv found that I can go pretty much anywhere off the beaten track and fly it. If I come across people they are generally intrigued!

Thanks, I've found a few good spots and got permission from a riding school to use their land for practice flights as long as I stay well away from the horses

Win!

You’ll be fine. It’s a great piece of kit! Enjoy
