Our Blog is an up to date record of what we have been up to both in the school and out of it. We endeavour to update it as regularly as possible and include a sample the days pictures when available.

You can scroll back through the Blog and follow various students progress through their training and get a good idea of how the school operates.

You will also find records of our trips abroad which will give you a good idea of what to expect should you wish to come on one with us.

Please visit it on a regular basis and feel free to add comments.

An evening out

From this ......
to this....

in less than 15 minutes


Arriving at the field at 16.00 after an interesting day we found the wind still a little on the breezy side but the sun was out. Rick W ( Dean F's drinking partner) was along for his introduction to Paragliding and was soon rolling around on the mats doing his PLF's. Next it was off into the field to do glider introduction and before long as the wind eased a bit he was getting to grips with ground handling. Mick L arrived and put in some useful ground work and was looking good by the time he left us at gone 20.00 hrs. Rick kept at it and by 20.30 was experiencing his first hand tows making him all set for the winch tows next time out. Dean also got some more play time with his Buzz Z.
Mark F pitched up hoping to fly the Paramotor again and it wasn't long before the wind eased further. He had a cracking flight on the Black Devil unit which convinced him that it is the way to go landing at gone 21.00.
By the time we left the field at gone 22.00 the wind had died away to nothing....maybe tomorrow ..
