ma001 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Hi Hope you’re well I’ve just come across this website and there seems to be a great network here. I’ve done some training with Paramotors, but I’m not confident to take it out on my own. I did a paramotor course in Spain and also did a paragliding course at Airways. I was wondering if there’s any groups that get together in or near Walsall that can help and support to get better and confident with practise. Hope to hear back from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richjones Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Hi mate I don’t know of anything local. I travel to market harborough to train and fly. It’s about 1hr 15 mins travel. I don’t have a friend with a field in Tamworth but we’re both still in training and couldn’t give any tuition/guidance really. I train with CM Paramotors and he often gets people who have trained elsewhere needing a little more help. It’s a great club and worth the journey. You could give him a call and chat see how he’s fixed. Clive 07729 783989 I’ve done 13 flights now and I’m happy to go out alone if there’s nobody else at the field so I can vouch for Clive’s tuition. He’s really nice and very helpful. Have you flown anywhere else local or not? Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ma001 Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 Hi I have done flights at Ashbourne and Crewe.. I thought I might be able to find something closer to Walsall I have done 8 flights, I'm not confident enough to go out alone yet I will give Clive a call and see if he can offer some tuition, is his tuition group based or individual?

richjones Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 He ought to be able to help. 8 flights isn’t much to be confident enough alone really. Its a very relaxed tuition, you go to the field when you can make it and there’s usually a handful of people about most of which will go off flying. Everyone’s really friendly and helpful too. You could try Clive now he’s always available but works during the day. I imagine he’s at the field now they were planning to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richjones Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Finding somewhere Walsall/Wolverhampton would be great. I’m trying to get a field near Cannock Chase but I’m in Walsall and Wolverhampton daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted the council, about using paramotor. They never heard about paramotor lol. After explaining, they said they would get back to me. but no reply ps- is it must to contact the people in charge for paramotoring in public park see attached - size of the park Arboretum Map V3.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hann__ Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Would a site in Penkridge be too far for you guys? I know of a very accommodating farmer who doesn't mind a bit of diversification as far as use of his land goes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richjones Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Penkridge is easy for me i very much doubt Walsall council would entertain using the arboretum. Nice try though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ma001 Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 I guess no place in Walsall then Penkridge maybe the closest from Walsall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richjones Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I’m going to try and speak with one maybe two landowners in penkridge this weekend if I get time. Theres plenty of farmland both Walsall/bloxwich and heading out around the m54. It’s just finding out the owners and getting to speak to them.

richjones Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I went a walk in Walsall arboretum yesterday. There is space to fly from but surrounded all sides by tall trees. I’m pretty sure the council would jump on us if we tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richjones Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Penkridge seems promising. Farmer very approachable and let us look around his land. There’s several fields mostly used for crops but he’s willing and says we could move around. Best bet may be his motocross field as it’s grass all the time. We will need insurance. He’s checking with his insurance if it’s a problem because he knows nothing about paramotoring. He’ll want money which is reasonable. Not sure how much.
