As far as I'm aware you can now ferry your aircraft to your maintainer so long as you can't get it done at base. However there is no alleviation on the timing of the check so if your annual has expired the engineer doing the work will have to authorise the ferry. The only problem is convincing the Police that your drive to the airport is justified and arranging a safe passage back to base.
I had planned to take mine to a field that's now closed until June and catch a train home! Thankfully I have a maintainer at base who've stepped in to do the work.
Good Luck.
