Try combining 1 and 3: put in some legwork (preferably systematically) and
visit farmers in your chosen area, looking for space. In my experience, they
are often very aware of exactly what's going on around the farm -which makes
for excellent security. Shouldn't be any problems with insurance if it's
kept in a secure building.
You might find that he'll be prepared to rent you a strip too or at least
let you use his field after harvest. (Helps if you do a bit of a recce by air)
Don't be put off by those that hate light aircraft, or more likely, light
aircraft noise. Eventually you'll find one that's charmed by the idea.
-and it's fun trying.
