PPGsoon Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Hi all, I am looking to start training in Norfolk/the North side of Suffolk. I have seen Ufly4fun in Lincolnshire but it's a bit far unfortuantly (3 hour round trip). Does anyone know of any instructors in the area mentioned? I have some aviation experience in sailplanes and have simply tried paragliding, but not paramotors and I would be very interested in learning. Thank you for the help!

kiwi k Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Mike at Ufly4fun is an excellent choice i would seriously talk to him before dismissing him and BHPA registered trainer, i live near Norwich and there is a few of us learnt/learning with Mike and No inflated training prices, happy to advise you in the early days with ground handling but qualified training is best way welcome aboard Kiwi. What i should of also said was Mike use to train at North repps but Now trains more at Winglands Airfield (Gedney drove end) but like i said have a chat he does not bite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Jackson Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I'll second the above... Mike is an awsome tutor! FYI I didn't learn with him, but he got me through my BHPA conversion and he has helped me no end of times. A great honest guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never mentioned or referred to BHPA Trainers that was not my suggesting just giving an honest reply to your question, i know the distance looks long but believe me once you meet the Wingland motley crew you will not regret it , most trainers you go to will result in a bit of travelling, and yes i probably am slightly biased but there is stories out there from most trainers you just have to go with what you think best , Simon from here is good but that involves serious travelling and incorporating more costs.
