No flying at Beacon on 24/25 Nov 2025
The National Trust are planning a drone survey of deer on the Ivinghoe Hills. This will take place next Monday and Tuesday (24/25th November).
It is important that we DO NOT FLY on these dates in order to maintain our good relationship with the Ashridge Estate.
