Thanks for the replies. I have spoken to Alan and he has taken my number so I can come and have a look next time they are flying.
I have also been in contact with Brad (www.paramota.com) and he invited me over to see the kit and have a go at kiting. I've booked in my first lesson and can't wait.
I've also sorted permission for two private sites local to me that are not in controlled airspace so it's looking good.
