Hi Ianh, No we did not meet up, and that is entirely my fault. One of those everything happening at once things. I would be interested in perhaps come kind of gathering in September. Even if it is just for an informal chat somewhere. Alistair

You must be very close to me. I am not far from Walkergate Metro. when you do get up do you travel far?

Thanks for that Andy. It does look like this will be a holiday project as opposed to a ongoing weekend thing. Not that this is a problem. It just does not feel as comfortable to me. Do you fly regularly at Yarm or just now and then? I pass it regularly but I only remember visiting it once when Geocaching.

Hello All, I am Alistair from Tyneside and I am keen on learning to fly a paramotor. I have wanted to learn to fly for many years but it was a pipe dream that I never quite got round to following it up. I assume that this happens a lot. Time has passed and I have been drawn more and more to the freedom of paramotoring. So much so that this year I decided I should stop thinking about it and actually do something about it. As one of my rules of life is "don't be dead" I decided to search for a decent instructor or school to guide me through the process, but as an outsider I don't really know who to ask about who is good. Really I would like to learn a bit at a time locally, but I guess travelling is an option for something more intensive. Can anyone recommend anyone? Also is anyone local to the North East UK here? I would love to come say hello and see others fly.
