CARPERFECT Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 As there is a club. WWF. Windermere water flyers that fly from Ullswater. And all the lakes are in the National park. Model flying is allowed, But i would check before doing so, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Gorham_ Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Just to add some accuracy into the above. WMWF operate from one site in the Lake District currently, near Pooley Bridge on Ullswater. We do not actively liaise with either of the bodies mentioned to obtain licenses or permissions to operate. These permissions may have been granted historically to other sites the club used to have access to, but I have seen no reference to them and have seen no correspondence to suggest it had ever happened. Our flying site is not owned nor governed by either body mentioned above. Our craft are not sailing craft and we have no external restrictions placed on our activities re the size of model operated. We do restrict certain types of model as an internal rule for common sense reasons. The club does operate from the farm shop site mentioned. As far I am aware, this site is not in the Lake District. I would suggest identifying the landowner of any proposed launching point and speaking to them first. WMWF Secretary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASH. Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 "Hills and mountains on your doorstep.." Thanks for the photos Percy. I just love the Lake District,, no finer place on earth. I used to visit the Lakes often some years back. Being there just feeds my "soul". No wonder it has millions of visitors every year. Hope to be there this summer.

Stuphedd Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Real Flying boats were operational from White Cross bay on Windermere during the war ,.It was a great place to live ,before the towerists and crag rats ! And much later watched the Dambusters film makers using the lake for practising ,and later still looking down onto the Vulcans thundering up the lake from Gummers How . Regards Westmorlander !
