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.

Down Tools

It was a slow start in the filed as we waited for the patch of rain to clear which it duly did by 10.30. The hangers got going quickly with Terry P (Exeter) moving off tethers and through straight towed low level flights with ease. By the end of the day he was releasing nicely and putting in turns to land so taking him well into his EPC.

Mike P (Bath) put in the high flights along with base bar conversions but as the wind eased back so did his "landings". Still he kept at it and had his first taste of the chest release by the end of the day. Yesterdays work on the tethers helped both guys along.

Peter G (Falmouth) came along for the start of his Paragliding course and did very well on the ground side before coming over to the winch. The by now very light wind did not make things easy but he put in a nice flight across the field by the end of the day.

Nigel and Sarah kept at it and Nigel rounded off the day with a couple of good flights on the Paraglider with super turns into land.

A weird day which always looked like it could rain at any time but in fact was pretty good. Anyone seen a tool box?? Sorry no piccies
