Trips abroad

At certain times of the year, the weather in the UK can be less reliable so we go to sunnier climes! We arrange flying trips all over - France, Argentina, California and Lanzarote on an annual basis. We also run expeditions abroad - find out more about expeditions

2008 Trips
SIV and acro - Switzerland 9-16 August 2008 The Pilot Development Course (Pilotage) is a combination of basic skills and 'soft' SIV. We’ll practice Big Ears, B-line stalls, spirals, all types of collapses (both symmetric and asymmetric), wing-overs, quick 8’s, as well as taking you to the point of spin and stall. If you’re already comfortable with this we’ll take you further and put you fully into these manoeuvres. You’ll come away from this course with solid skills that you’ll be able to incorporate into your normal flying and at the same time will be a much more competent and confident pilot. £450 Find out more about the SIV Trips
Dune de Pyla 6-20 September 2008 Stunning coastal flying - excellent for beginners, finishing CP tasks & newly qualified pilots. Top landings a cinch. Perfect family/flying location with acres of soft sand, sun, sea and of course soaring - soaring - soaring. £545 Find out more about the Dune de Pyla Trips
Lanzarote 2 - 16 October 2008 8 -22 January 2009 The Lanzarote that we'll show you is a million miles from the tourist 'Lanza-grotty' image that it sometime has. There really is something for everyone here; with training sites to work on basic skills all the way up challenging flying for experienced pilots.At one extreme end of the scale there is El Cuchillio in the middle of the day; an absolute boiling pot with thermals that’ll rip your socks off! And then there’s Miradore del Rio; a stunning bowl 1400ft above the landing field with air like silk. £495 (shared room), £595 (Private room) Find out more about Lanzarote trips
Madeira 21 - 28 November 2008 While the days are growing shorter in the UK and the cold weather setting in, we’ll be floating in the warm breezes over the beautiful island of Madeira . The flying is a mixture of stunning coastal cliffs and inland thermic sites suited to all standards. £450 (shared room) Find out more about Madeira trips
Argentina December 2008 Last February I went with a group of pilots to the far north of Argentina to try to set some new distance records. Although we were unlucky with the weather; storms developing every afternoon, it was an amazing experience and the potential is enormous. We were winching over huge flat lands in a truly unique area. This year I’ll be going back in December for another shot at it and have 3 places for people who’d like to join me. £1650 Find out more about the Argentina Trip
2009 Trips
Argentina 1 - 14 March 2009 This will be one of the best trips that you’ll ever do. The flying, the country, and the people are incredible! To make the most of the flying we’ve got 3 local pilots as guides. For this sort flying, experienced local guides are essential and save us a great deal of wasted time as well as providing retrives. £1350 Find out more about the Argentina Trip
Baja California Expedition 26 April - 10 May 2009 As this is an expedition we have a goal; to explore and develop paragliding sites on the Baja peninsula. Exploring a number of coastal and inland sites including San Antonio Del Mar and the Vizcanio desert. £1350 Find out more about the Baja Trip
