Paul,
I'm in the middle of my training right now, I've been heading over to York to do my training with Marko from Yorkshire Paramotors - great experience, would definitely recommend him - well worth the extra bit of driving. I should hopefully do my first solo next time I head over.
Would be great to meet up once I've got a few flights under my belt, great bunch of lads over that side of the Pennines, but I'm really looking forward to doing a bit of local evening flying over this side too.
Good luck in Spain.
Cheers,
Ben
