Hi all, Thanks for the info. I understand that common sense is essential when making decisions about where to take off from and it is important to be discreet and try not to annoy anyone…… But like you Gary, I have been scratching my head for ages thinking - If I am allowed to walk on that land…. What rule says I can't walk on that land with my Paramotor?? Does anyone know? I am plucking up the courage to approach more land owners as I desperately need to get in the air again. I know not all farmers are grumpy Quinoxyfen, I think I must have just been unlucky meeting the only 2 grumpy ones in Nottingham! I live in Nottingham and trained with Paddy but I live in the centre of Nottingham…. Are there any other pilots flying close to Nottingham? Also any advice on how best to approach a land owner - - Tips on how to find who owns the field? - Best to contact by: Phone / Face to Face / letter? - Offer cash - how much is reasonable to use their land? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks. Dave

Hi all I'm Dave, I'm a relative newbie.... Trained 2 years ago, 8 successful flights + 1 dodgy landing! One of the reasons why i haven't flown more is that the field I fly from has lots of hazards.... It is boggy when wet, there are thistles and I'm worried about snagging my wing etc. My question is where am i allowd to fly from? I know you should seek permission from the land owner but this is difficult and I find awkward (I have met 2 grumpy farmers allready!) Whenever I drive in the countryside I see brilliant fields to fly from but I want to know if I allowed to? Beach? Fields where public have a right to access / right of way? General open land? Thanks for reading and hope to hear how you guys find the perfect flying field... Cheers Dave Corsair black devil 172 Paratoys wing
