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.

Turned out nice :)



Lovely forecast for some training in the field, the guys arrive and we meet up in the field, the sun goes in and the rain comes down all be it not very heavily. Visibility goes down and we get some theory done,  visibility goes up , rain stops and sun comes out ....... phew :)

Whilst Kaz gets Andrew H (Roche) stated on his Taster day with some PLF's before heading out into the field with a Paraglider Chris H (Sennen) gets the Hangy rigged and Steve B (Paignton) puts in some ground handling on another Paraglider.  With the temperature rising and it getting a little sweaty it was like summer in the field, what a change from a few hours ago.


Andrew gets a bit of help from behind .....


the boys chill out on the mats ....


....and it is all too much for Chris to resist

Sea breeze set in and mid afternoon saw the winch in action and things moving along nicely.  Steve B cracked on with his CPC tasks having completed his EPC by passing his theory exam during the rain.   A solid 8 flights saw him move well into it and each one saw an improvement in his skills, by the end of the day he almost looked like a pilot!


Classic tow by Steve as he heads to the top


and makes a cracking return to earth

Chris H overcame a few nerves after a bit of a lay off from the hang but was soon doing a fine job both on and off the line as he sweetened up his turns, converted to the base bar and got prone flying sorted over his 8 flights not long now......

and makes a fine job of sorting his turns

Last but by far not least Andrew H had a super day ending up with 4 flights including a release one as he got his first experience of flying a Paraglider solo.  Based on what he experienced and a previous tandem flight wit us a few months  ago my guess is we will see him back soon.


Andrew h looks like he is enjoying it


Poser .....

A pretty relaxed day all helped out by Phil L helping out on the bike and the wind staying in one direction, what more can you ask.

Quote of the day " you want any coke?"
