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.

Thermic towing

Bill tries out Hand Gliding


a pproaching lift off


and yes it has, his hat has lifted off


It was a bright and sunny day in the field and on arrival the sight of the gulls coring up at 10.00 set the scene. Still we carried on with both hangies and Para's getting going on the ground in nice conditions. However by mid day it was getting too breezy for the Paras so they got put on hold whilst Tristan d (Leighton Buzzard) and Nigel W (St Just) got the winch to them selves.


Tristan made a fine start to his towing career and Nigel did very well popping 5 release flights before things got a bit too lively so stopping play, for them .........


Whilst the Paragliders did their EPC exams, congratulations to Russell S and Emil K on passing I took the opportunity to take the falcon 195 up under some nice clouds. It took three tows before hitting the lift and circling up as well as drifting back to the coast but what fun it was.


We called it an early day as conditions continued to be bouncy for students but still a useful and fun one.
