I'm still thinking I did pick up the wrong hobby for this country  Dodgy
I do randomly fly whoops indoor but my cat gets stressed, so I have to close her in the kitchen while I enjoy the living room for a few packs Whistling

This is why I pretty much write off flying during the winter months in the UK. I haven't flown since the end of October and probably won't be able to until at least February because my flying location turns into a quagmire. I had a walk past this morning to see how bad it actually was and I can safely say it's definitely a no-go. I think people thought I was probably exaggerating when I previously mentioned HERE that my flying location was waterlogged and you are up to your ankles in mud, but see for yourself. This is no fun at all and you certainly don't want to end up crashing your quad into that mess. I just find other things to do during the winter months.

I feel your pain a bit, having lived in the Pacific Northwest for a long time.  One of the main reasons for moving to the Mojave, going from cold and wet to warm and dry.  

I haven't flown since Feb 2020.  I don't know if I will get in the air before 2021.... Cry

That's exactly what I did.  Left Seattle area for warm and dry southern Az.

Am new to fpv, and started building my kwad in September 'big mistake' stick time here in UK has been hit and miss! my brand new build now looks like it's been well trashed.
My mate did warn me about the winter months, to be honest I've loved it flying acro in fog, rain and low cloud has made me a better flyer for sure. Just getting packs in and Ripping when you can, come summer all day sesh with sun out can't wait

I got out for the first time in almost a month yesterday. It was blowing a gale and I had to slog through a lot of mud, but the sun was out and damn if it wasn't good to be back in the air.

The ground is for dead people.
