Hello everybody I am new to this sport and am looking for friends / pilots to fly with. I am currently training with Simon over at Membury airfield but this a little too far to travel on a regular basis. I am currently living near Gatwick but am moving down to Crowborough in the next couple of months. I have my own equipment, a new PXP Paramotor and Independence Merlin wing. I have had my first flight with my wing and Simon's Parajet unit. I need to try out my unit with my wing in combination (under Simon's supervision - hopefully this week!) and i think i would be ready to have some practice flights nearer to me. I completed my PPL on light aircraft a while ago so still remember the basics of air law etc (so not too much of a dangerous rookie !). Any who, if anyone could help me in my progression in the sport more locally to home that would be great.

Hi Guys, Thanks very much for your replies, i've tried PM'ing you but my messages have been sitting in my outbox since Saturday, probably something i'm doing wrong. Ive decided to either sign up with the Aero Aviation School (Maidstone) or Simon Westmore's Training in Wiltshire. Simon's firm works out to be about 80 miles away which although its not as local as i wanted i really liked his website and get a good feeling from it. I suppose that's the main thing. Oh and i think 800 GBP is good value. I work freelance and get a fair bit of time off, midweek and the weekends so i should be able to knock out the days pretty quick. I'm moving down to Tonbridge Wells within the year so will be looking for regular buddies to go flying with. Obviously i'm new to the sport and have very little contacts and knowledge of good routes and flying sites. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards Steve B

Hello one and all New to the site and am looking to start paramotoring as my new hobby. Love flying and obtained my PPL on Cessna 150 back in 2003 in the USA. I did a bit of flying back here in the UK (Popham) but let it lapse due to cost more than anything. Now want to get back in the air and paramotoring sounds perfect. I don't have any equipment yet and with the weather as it is at the moment would realistically look to start training in the late spring in the UK. I don't want to travel too far for instruction, say 60 miles from RH1 area (Gatwick). Any contacts i can make re instruction would be fab, so when the time comes i wont be fanny'ing about. Also any advice re a good club would be appreciated. Ta very much ... Brooksie
