Bobbyf Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 As others have said, you would need to carefully check forecasts for wind directions and speeds using that field. In reliable conditions it should be fine, but this is the UK and you can always rely on the fact that it is unreliable! I’d be concerned of rotor from those trees in anything other than nil wind. If you’re new to the sport you need to give yourself a chance and find yourself a good field. Keep knocking on doors and save this one for when the weather is perfect or you’re more experienced. Good luck with your quest, perhaps the owners of this field could suggest some friendly neighbouring farmers for you to make contact with?

Hann__ Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 ...or you could ask the farmer if he`d mind if you cut all those trees down `cos they`re getting in your way. I don`t think he`d mind.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hann__ Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 This is the field i fly from mostly - the long, thin one. Look at all those trees! And the ground to the left is higher. It`s not ideal. Crops permitting i can fly from the higher ground which is much better, or the field to the right (still surrounded by trees) in wind conditions are agreeable. I do have another field (only in winter when no crops) of 14 acres and completely open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cianpars Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) Posted October 25 Grass and sand are nice. Gravel is bad. 100 m square minimum in all directions is also nice About the size of a football pitch.
