Richard Davies Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Hi, I have moved up to the West Midlands from Kent and am an experienced Paramotor pilot. Do you know if there are any good / legal places to fly from? I was lucky in Kent I had a huge field opposite my house which I was allowed to use as and when I wanted. I was also potentially looking for a local club to join. Regards Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiatroda Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Hi Guys, I'm looking for a place in West Midlands, Staffordshire etc. to fly paratrike. I hava all the gear ready, just need a field near to fly. Bit about me. I live in Wolverhampton. I started paramotoring year ago but due to back problems had to abandon it for a while. The back is better now but I still wouldn't risk to take off with a paramotor hence a trike. I looking for people from the area to fly with and the field to practice. alan_k are still flying in Wombourne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven greenwood Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Hi alan_k I live in stourbridge and have been few places around my local area to ask for permission to use fields but no luck....I noticed you mentioned you use a private field in wombourne which isn't too far from me do you think I could get permission to use field too or do you have suggestions of any others? Any help would be appreciated thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_k Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Hi Steve, I would love to offer you use of the field but the landowner would rather keep a low profile as the field is used for other activities occasionally, so has restricted PPG to just me, sorry. GeoffW and I fly some times from a farm near Bridgenorth, another pilot there would be no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven greenwood Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Alan_k thankyou for your reply i am only just starting out still waiting for my equipment but that would be really helpfull once I am up and running...would it be possible to have your contact number or email for when the time comes please?

Scaffscaff Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hi all. So we have secured a field over alvechurch . The farmer has agreed a price of £10 per man per day . No limit on the amount of pilots and we can also camp there at a cost of £10 per night . Myself and one other person have keys for the gates . If you are interested in flying the field when the weather gets better and I am back in the country then get in touch . My number is further up on this thread .

Matt750 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Hi all, Turning out to be a smaller world than i thought. i live in sedgley and have finished my training. I actually met alan down wombourne a while back by chance (not sure he remembers me) and then saw him again in passing at his private field. Didnt know about this forum until now but thought id join as i see a few locals. Jock has also helped me out a lot on fb. i actually bought my motor off his friend Paul. Would be good to all have a meet up if this weather ever improves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
