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.

The Final frontier

Ready to go at the "lower" north launch on Chabre
Off and away, what a clean sail....
have to say felt a bit of a "prick" after landing short in this field


The last task was another downwind 116k dash via turnpoints into the flatlands. The game plan was to win the Nationals which meant going for it to move up from 2nd to pole position. Plan started good and things went well until until 2/3rds of the way around it got a bit slow. Pushing hard to make up time i took a chance on the last turnpoint and gambled on picking up lift on the final leg to goal. It didn't happen with the result that I landed 3.5k short in a field of 6' high thistles!! Still a fun day and a super comp in one of the best places in Europe to fly.
We really must get some of you out there some time
Ohh and yes it dropped me from 2nd to 7th..........
