Hi All
I’ve been thinking about trying to arrange a flying meet in or near Peterborough, there is Ferry Meadows Country park, and the Nene Valley Railway is close enough to see…
Give me some idea of those who would be interested, I’ll ask the question and we can go from there…
Happy Flying

Follow Up: Looking at the Drone Safety map, much of Ferry Meadows falls within the flight circle for Milton airfield. This is a private estate airfield and does not have many flights as far as I’m aware.
If there is enough interest, I’ll contact the airfield and speak to them about our proposed meet…
Happy Flying

I guess not then, the enthusiasm is under whelming! Cancel that idea then! 
Hey Steve I’ll fly with you mate
We have a new member @Bionic_Si nearby, I have asked if they would be up for getting together for a fly too.
Hopefully that makes 3 of you, and maybe others will come out of the woodwork.
Yeah sounds good to me
Excellent! I love it when a plan comes together…
Many thanks Simon, et al. What’s your availability guys? Is a weekend or week day preferred? If you give me some ideas as to dates and am/pm preference, I’ll see what can be arranged…
Hi Steve. Only just seen your post. Would have loved to but Peterborough is a 6 ISH hour round trip from Blackpool. Sorry.
No worries mate, maybe if there’s a meet somewhere in between we may bump into each other, not literally though! 
Am not so far away, 30 mins or so to Peterborough, although a complete noob !
Hi Westbury, I’m a noob too!
Just attempting to get a feel for when people are available, weekend or week day?
Happy flying
MDSteve
Retired so anytime suits…
Ok mate thanks for the reply, that’s two of us thus far…
Last chance for anyone to state preference, after that, I’ll set a time and place and invite anyone whop can make it.
Happy flying
MDSteve
For all those who are interested in a visit to Peterborough, this is one of the options I’m looking at…
Orton Lock Car Park - Google Maps
This is still part of the Nene Country Park, which includes Ferry Meadows but falls outside the RFZ of Milton Airfield, Let me know what you think. There are the lakes and Nene Valley Steam railway… More to follow
And follow it does…
This is the rowing lake, has a dirt track which keeps us out of the way of most members of the public…
Google Maps
Some idea as to what people are looking for would help find a location. We have a very fine 1000 year old Cathedral in town amongst other attractions, give me some idea as to what you want to see…
I’m also looking at a location at the top of one of the very few hills around here, amazing views, but is private so would need permission…
Looks fine to me as long as there’s plenty of open spaces, not up to flyiing in complex locations yet !
Super! I’m guessing Orton lock as primary site with the rowing lake as backup.
I’m going to pay a visit to check if they still open the toilets or not before confirming…
Ferry Meadows has several options for that and a couple of food options too. Better all round me thinks.
We’ll just have to deal with the FRZ and get permission, I’ll look into it…
I took an a noob. Over the past few days I’ve tried going out including in an empty car park by the Blackpool football stadium.
Plenty of room there I guess! Did you have fun!
And now in English… I too am a noob.
