Common Land

[learner_driver]

Is there a resouce out there, that enables one to see common land in goole earth or just on a map?

I am hunting my common land takeoff sites.

Kind Regards

I'm curious as to why you want to find common land. Its often quite difficult to get permission to fly from common land as the rights are reserved to commoners.

Have you read: http://www.defra.gov.uk/wildlife-countr ... n/faqs.htm

Do not make the mistake of thinking common land is some how "un-owned" and can be used for any purpose by anyone who happens to come past. Quite the opposite in fact.

Often the land is owned by some body representing the commoners, and you would have to approach them, where the land is privately owned, it may be easier, but again, you may find the land owner has to approach the commoners first, and this may be quite problematic. In short you will find it MUCH easier to get permission to fly from any site OTHER than common land.
