  1. Good Evening Guys,

    So i was laid on the sofa watching a film and a mate text me asking if it was possible taking of from the market field in blyth, (his Grandads field )

    Anyway i replies say i think you can but you would have to be in contact with Doncaster atc, as i sent the text i looked out the window and to my amazement i see a paramotor heading over my village (Harworth)

    I just up grabbed my camera gear, jumped in the car and drove off down the road, Switched the Scanner on (Airband i have mounted in my car) as i presume he would have to be in contact with Doncaster ? to try and get a heads up where he was heading, i managed to get in from of him and grabbed a few shots :) here one of them ...

    He then Landed Practically over the road behind the trees, i checked all the local fields but couldn't find him, would have loved a chat and passed on my details as i got the pics,

    it was a blue wing if anyone has any idea who it was.

    Regards

  2. Thanks guys , ill taking the straight into training route first,

    I'm guessing paul haxby is my best option for an instructor being doncaster based?

    I keep reading good comments aboit him?

    Are there any doncaster / retford / worksop pilots on here ? I saw two guys taking off from calton in lindrick a while back,

    Cheers shane

  3. Hi Guys, I'm Shane from doncaster,

    Been intrested in paramotiring for a few years now, decided to go down the sky diving route a few years ago, got my A cert and also my Canopy Handling 1 & a few jumps underr my belt, as much as I love skydiving I want to move over to paramotoring for more freedom :),

    Going to have to do some saving but how would you guys recomend I get started?

    *start training when I have enough money to buy a paramotor and wing,

    ** buy a wing and do lots of ground training while saving for rest of gear and training,

    *** buy gear and do traing with my gear

    **** do traing now and save up for gear?

    what do you guys suggest,

    Thanks

    Shane
