I was actually in your location YESTERDAY Oz. I was off to see a friend who lives right on the other side of Salisbury to you, but I can have a chat with him on your behalf in a few days time when I will be back there again. There is also a guy that is a good friend who lives in Shrewton. He has permission to fly from the edge of the airspace. SW -
Thanks Mate! I did think about that, but didn’t wanna be pushy. should be free Sunday, so may well have a drive around. I’ll print off some pictures maybe so they know what the sport is. .ga. -

You have to keep trying. It is one of the bugbears of finding something, preferably local. My tale was quite interesting, apart from the losing permission in the first place. I lost permission on a field I had used for 3 and a half years, due mainly to the owner passing on and the family not wanting the 'hassle', plus a few silly complaints from houses 150m away on a main road. I felt bereft as I didn't have another field so toured around to find something. I even approached the local golf club, after all they have loads of flat open spaces. I spoke with the club secretary, a very helpful woman who knew the area. I explained what I needed but when asked if it would be ongoing I received a no. However she did say if I had connections within MI5 I might have had more luck. When Boris Johnson was PM MI5 contacted the club and told them that Boris's helicopter would be landing at the club. She did however suggest a landowner who keeps a few horses not far away. I replied that paramotors and horses don't mix but called in to the place anyway. When I explained what was needed he said 'oh how about that field over there', turned out it was a field i had had my eye on for a long time. Closer to home as well, bonus. -
Email is a waste of time, you`ll just get ignored. Face to face is the way to go and a contact within the farm or other connection with the landowner goes a long, long way to getting permission. Knock on doors/visit the farms or keep an eye out for when you might see someone working in the fields. It can be very difficult to find somewhere to fly from...
