Pilot and Club Pilot courses with a good Instructor to Student ratio

5 DAY BEGINNERS PARAGLIDING COURSE
This is a complete course offering excellent value for Beginners.
Progressing through a series of exercises that start at the bottom of the hill and work
up. First ground control, inflating the canopy, walking it along the ground steering
left and right, a little like flying a large kite. Next short hop flights just above the
ground while maintaining directional control. Progressing up the hill in stages, from
short hops to low level flights, straight at first then with some turns.
Finally higher flights with controlled take offs, turns and spot landings. The
days do not have to be taken consecutively but must be taken within one year. This marks a
recognised level of competence before Club Pilot and unsupervised flight. With some theory
and a basic exam you now have Elementary Pilot. summary of
