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.

Blown Away

Mike P leads the way on the Mars with full tethers

Terry P deals with the bumpy bits in fine style

Blown away, well not quite but if we had let go of the tether ropes I am sure we would have been. With a "breezy" day forecast and 3 "hangers" itching to get at it we opted to head to the hill for some tethering.
In a good breeze graham A kindly demonstrated what to do before Mike P (Bath) got his first flight on the hill. Along with Terry P (Exeter) and Dan L (Truro) who had come back to start training after their Taster days he had a fun day putting in plenty of airtime as they "soared" in the abundant lift. By the time they had worn my arms out they had all not only got a good feel for the glider but done base bar conversions and even flown in prone!
A hard work day in blustery conditions but again a very useful one which will help the guys in the future.
