Expert instruction

Our Funday is a very popular tentative step to take for introduction into the sport of paragliding, without commitment to a course. 
Many Funday students, who have no aspirations of becoming Pilot status, progress with this addictive sport. 
This can also be a funday for your family and friends, as they are welcome to come along to provide support and cheerleading.

Day plan
The day starts with a safety briefing, looking at the hang glider, its parts and functions, completing a daily inspection.
The first session leading to lunchtime, will be spent learning to launch the glider and use directional control to keep it going straight and introducing mild turns. There will also be an introduction into slow and fast flight appreciation, altering the speed of the wing and the landing flare.

During the afternoon it will time to start getting people flying the gliders solo, using the learning from the morning session. 
On average, students will gain 5 solo flights reaching heights of 5 to 50+ foot. The heights gained will depend on the weather conditions and personal progression.

The day will finish with a summary and de briefing session, with a well earned congratulations at completing your first day of hang gliding training! 
Those who wish to continue and become an elementary pilot, the funday will count as Day 1 of the course. Upon booking an EP course at the end of your Funday Day 1 cost will be deducted of the course cost.

Cost
A funday costs £175 pp midweek, £199 pp weekend. 
Book 10 Fundays and the 10th goes free.

If any days are cancelled due to bad weather you can book another date and will not lose any credit.
