Hi Andy sorry to hear you are having a bad experience trying to find information out about paramotoring. In the main there are a few groups, but not many paramotoring "clubs", unlike paragliding where just about everyone is in a club. We fly on the south coast and use this forum or ring around, but there isn't a club as such. Both of my paramotors I have purchase secondhand and have been fantastic. The first was on the recommendation of a paramotoring friend and the other off skyads. They were both half the price of new and in great condition. I have flown full pelt on them in several comps. Be warned though, some units will not be genuine at all, so its worth asking others in forums like this about the seller or the secondhand motor you see. My first wing was also secondhand, from someone I got to know. Buying a new wing when you begin would seem to be a bad idea as you may find you want something else after a year or so. A second hand wing will not lose you as much money as buying new. If you want to fly in competitions, which is great fun, see: http://www.ppgcomps.co.uk/ There are UK league and Open comps. If you can, come along to the league and register to marshal, no experience needed! You'll meet a lot of very keen pilots who will be only too willing to help you in your decision. Also if you want to fly in comps you will need insurance, which is one of the things that the bhpa do offer Their training courses are structured and set by the national body for paramotoring, which is what they are. They have decades of experience of running courses and training the instructors. This is probably one of the reasons why they can get insurance for us all. The bhpa Pilot exam for paramotoring ensures that you have the knowledge that is essential before you take to the skies on your own. As you know you do not have to go through the bhpa route, and I know there are very good non bhpa instructors, but I am not sure who or how they are regulated I hope you find the solution that works for you Teresa

Hi Guys I just google earthed Langstone Harbour as I wasn't too sure where it is. Lots of fields and landing areas by the looks of it on the east side...... Simons idea is good, the Niverna day may well have got on the nerves of the residents to the immediate west of the field. Maybe we should mail drop them like we do for the Opens before hand and say its for charity? T

Yes, I agree. I heard a program on Radio 4 about this by the author of a book called propellerhead, which I must get hold of to read. It was the inspiration for the program. Teresa

Hi Mark Just seen your mssg. I was planning to launch locally if not too windy. I'll text you tomorrow. T2

I'm about on Sunday, 8th if you are out then T

Hi Mark and Nigel The gu you're talking about (kev) is on the 34 synth not 31. Teresa

Hi Morgy Currently looks good at 11:00 ish onwards tomorrow. Picking up by 15:00 We will not get an update until 19:00 on the local news. Currently I would say get the field open, but I'll call after the 7pm forecast to confirm. Cheers T

Hi All BBC have dropped their wind forecast to 8mph on Saturday. (I can not see this in todays synoptic) Can we get Hambrook open and does anyone fancy flying if the weathers good? T

Hi Barry thanks for the info regarding the new no-fly areas. Teresa

Kev and I want to fly Saturday morning 8am at the field sounds great. Can you arrange for it to be open all day Sunday too. Weather looks OK at the moment. Teresa

Count us in Who's collecting? Teresa
