Wanstronian Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Hi folks, about to sign on the dotted line for training. Not sure about where in Somerset I'll be able to fly from though once I'm qualified. Can anyone advise? Be gutted to pay for the training and then find out I have to drive loads of miles to actually fly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin (Simon W) Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Welcome to the Paramotor Club! Check out the members map (you need to be logged in) https://www.paramotorclub.org/membermap/ You can click on a name and contact that person via the map For sure though it should be simple enough for you to find a friendly farmer in that area though If you want to talk airspace, you do have a couple of interesting things in the area so would be dependant on where you live ( add your info to the members map while your there ) SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickB Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Is there anyone still flying around Weston/Brean area? I'm currently a freeflyer, but looking to do a conversion to fly PPG too with the aim of being able to fly more. Just want to check there are local options before parting with cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_r Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Where abouts in Somerset are you Wanstronian? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanstronian Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Hi, sorry never got a notification about any responses on this thread! @phil_r I'm near Glastonbury. Start training at the end of this month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanstronian Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Given that my thread is the only one started this year and we're already in June, I'm guessing that Somerset is not really a PPG hot spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_r Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I live near Martock & know of at least 5 other active pilots within 1/2 hour of you. We tend to communicate by phone/text, rather than on forums, so I'm not surprised you think there isn't anybody else out there, however that's not the case. I have flown up to the Tor a few times in the last year! If you PM me your number then I'm always happy to meet up & have a chat. I'll PM this to you too, which should throw up a notification.
