dotMorse Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Afternoon All, After selling my kit car and having the money burning a hole in my pocket I have been looking at taking up a new hobby. I have always wanted to get into the air in some shape or form and have settled on paramotoring. The sport looks fairly intoxicating and I am completely sold on taking it up (especially after the weather we have had this weekend). I just wanted to know if there is anyone in the local area or a club meet I could drop along to and get some general advice? I am still looking for a course that suits me, as full time work means that getting away for a week abroad is difficult, and there seems to be a distinct lack of schools in the local area. Do you have to go through a school for training or can you get a private instructor (qualified of course)? Any dos and don'ts would be much appreciated. I think the nearest school to me is in Wales so that might make it some quite long days with travel either side. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotMorse Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 Is that John Roberts and Henry Roberts? If so I am an old friend of Henry's. I'll drop him a message. Thanks for the reply Simon. I have been looking at your site and think I spoke to you earlier in the year. I will be in touch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Roberts Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Yes, I'm John, Henrys dad. I hope you go for it as I'm looking for a local flying buddy. Henry is based in Glasgow so will have limited time to fly in Stratford area. Did you go to school or work together ? JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
