CrockhamHillbilly

Thanks for all the advice, I'm leaning towards doing some paragliding training locally before doing a PPG course abroad next year, possibly Spain. By then I'll have built up some core skills and had the opportunity for some good paramotor time before returning to the UK where I can buy the right equipment for me. A handy local club or flying pals would be a bonus but I appreciate this is a specialist sport and flight opportunities are not abundant in SE England, it seems. I have to say I've been underwhelmed by the lack of response from UK schools so far, so I'm grateful for all of your experiences.

Thanks for the opinions gents, I would prefer to learn in the UK but the one concern I have is the lack of poor weather. Simon, I'll be in touch soon about your school - thanks for the input!

Ok thanks for the info! Did you go to flyspain? I'm leaning towards that early next year - combine it with a little break abroad

Hi! I saw a paramotor fly over Crockham Hill sometime last week - just wondered if you're local enough for me to get some advice from please? I'm hooked on watching Youtube videos and this is something I'm really excited about. Just moved to Kent and although I don't plan on learning straight away, I'd be very grateful for the chance to meet someone personally for some newbie advice? Thanks in advance!

Hi! I've just joined the site, mainly as a lurker to find out more about paramotoring! Having just moved to Kent, I'll need to wait until I have some more money for training and equipment before I take the plunge. Just wondered if anyone has any experience learning abroad? It seems to be a lot cheaper than learning in the UK and I guess the weather is more reliable, i.e. in Spain. Also, is there anyone in the South East who's agreeable to meeting up for a chat / observe you fly please? Thanks in advance!
