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.

Runninig Man

Derek J straight and level on finals

Bit of a slow start in the filed with a couple of students dropping out so it was a "quiet" one. Still Pilot X got the ball rolling with a couple of tows on the Mars Hang Glider followed by Derek who put in some nice ones improving all the time. By lunch time it was getting damp and Dave B (Plymouth) had arrived to have a look at Paramotoring so we sat under the cover of the Hang Gliders and did the theory bit and general introduction to the sport.

Dave learnt Paragliding with us a few years ago and is trying to decide whether to take up Paramotoring or to put more time into Paragliding in order to get more airtime and was doing the sensible thing by carrying out a full investigation. Pretty soon we had him running around with the unit on his back as things dried up. By the end of the afternoon he was looking more comfortable with the unit and had worked up a good sweat.

With the wind having dropped off to nothing I foolishly offered a demonstration flight which with a damp canopy /no wind combination saw me running as fast as I could before lifting off for what turned out to be a very pleasant 15 minute flight around the field and over the cliffs before landing back at launch. Will he take it up, we shall see....
