Hi, here in UK I suggest you are best to join the nearest club where you will get advice and facilities from people with the same interests. As a minimum though, if you feel you want to fly on private land (not a good idea for safety's sake if it means flying alone) I would follow the info. that the BMFA gives - see their website
www.bmfa.org for details of insurance, UK legal issues, useful links etc. - so as to avoid basic problems. .
