Am in Frodsham (J12 M56), but don't mind travelling to get a good safe site. I've got Drone Zones, so will be checking out the local sites. Thanks for the tip
if it just to practice/learn flying, any local open area will do (as long as its not restricted), remember when training you will be with max 10-20 meters out anyway, I have seen so many people send it 400ft high and 500 ft out and then realise they cannot fly one nose in or cannot see it or panic and it all goes tits up.
