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.

All for one and one for all

Gary M prays to the Carabiner God before his first flight

It paid off as he flies nicely after a two year break

Trainee winchman Kev T joins the team complete with buff

The field was a bit on the sticky side, job for Kaz ??



Gary rounds off his day with a super flared landing under the watchfull eye of PC

News from the hill was that there was no wind so we canned hill conversions early allowing Lyn to head home. Although not planning to go towing as Gary M had driven all the way from Bristol we quickly sorted things out and and were on our way to the filed by 12.30.
Gary was hoping to get some practice in on a Hang Glider to improve his landings which having learnt on aerotow in America some 4 years ago were never really sorted. The field was a bit on the wet side but we pressed on and by 13.30 there was a perfect breeze and towing was underway. Gary had a top "day" slowly building his confidence and landing on his feet every time! By the time some light rain arrived he had put away nearly 20 tows, had the fundamentals of landing well sorted and was ready for a well earned rest!
Thanks to Pete C and trainee winch man Kev T for turning out at short notice and doing such a fine job. off to wash the truck!
