  1. Thinking of a two week trip early nest year (March/April 2015) with Fly Spain. Anyone here with experience/advice having done something similar with Fly Spain? Many thanks
  2. Its vid clips like that, that make you want to paramotor.......many thanks.
  3. I'm based on Anglesey, North Wales.......had a few days with Steve @ Mid Wales Paramotoring in Aberystwyth, enjoyed what I did and Steve was brilliant.....just the weather let us down. Ian
  4. Ladies/Gents, Your advice would be most welcome, although I’m sure somewhere on this forum these questions have been asked many times. I’m a 55 yr old guy who has this on his to do list before he dies (bit sombre I know) but there we are. I’ve had a couple of very basic lessons in paragliding (not been off the ground) but this entailed almost a 200 mile round journey, this was mainly to do with a British weather that I never got further. Question1: Is it best to learn how to paraglide properly first before moving on to paramotoring, or go straight into a paramotoring course? Question2: If its best to learn how to paraglide first, I’ve been looking at http://www.flyspain.co.uk/ Any reviews/advise about taking something like this up? Many thanks in advance Ian
  5. Hi, I'm a guy of 52 who has just started learning to paramotor and so far enjoying it immensely. Any advice on my first paramotor & wing/canopy? I will probably only ever purchase the one, so want it to last, I dont want a "sports!!" one...at the age of 52 I'd prefer something stable and reliable.....more of a cruise. I weigh 85.5 kg Many thanks for your thoughts. Ian

  9. Just wondering what sort of questions are asked in the BHPA pilot exam? Many thanks.
  10. A newby here.....All your vids are brill....enjoyed the 100ft cliffs at Skye......just wondering though, you stayed above the cliffs is that because there could be too much turbulence below the edge of the cliffs?
  11. Hi, I hope that at 51 yrs old I'm not too old to take up the sport, just wondering where the nearest place to Anglesey that does paramotoring, is it Southport? Many thanks Ian
