Have you lost your usual flying site then...that looked ideal to me....?
:vulture:
At the moment I only fly from 2 locations.
location 1 is about 35 minute drive, but is hard on my car as it's lots of pot-holey back roads to get there. Not only that, but I have to carry all my gear from a workshop courtyard, over a fence and up a hill. the place is in the middle of nowhere so I don't bother anyone and I have full permission from the landowner to be there.
location 2 is about 50 minute drive and is much easier on the car as it's mostly main A roads and dual carriage ways. It appears to be common land, plenty of people there all the time, and it's right on the beach which makes for lovely sights from above.
If I won the lottery I'd 100% buy some land and build a RC airstrip and hangar (big shed lol) out the back, a lot like the situation bonafidepirate on youtube has.
Start knocking on farmers doors, you'll be able to find somewhere closer for sure

This is what i did, would not take any money for letting me fly but I see him down the local and buy him a pint and a bottle of Jackdee at Christmas, win win.
