Hello!
So the time has come to start looking for training. Are there any instructors fairly close to me in Malvern?
I am aware of quite a few paragliding schools out to the West in the mountains (about an 1.5hr drive away) but no idea about PPG.
If I can not find a PPG instructor close by would it be beneficial to do some paragliding and then once I get the hang of it travel a bit further afield to do a few hours/days powered to convert?
I have picked up a cheap wing to "play" with on the ground, although so far there has been 0 wind.... But as soon as there is some puff I can atleast practice ground handling.
Ideally I would like to be able to do powered and non powered depending on where I find myself as the skills are similar and learning both would give more enjoyment I think.... I am toying with the idea of hitting the Alps in August for some mountain biking, climbing etc so could get some paragliding in then.
