mike1714 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 All, Is the club to organise a foreign trip of hot weather flying? I ask because I am fed up with this bloody weather!!!!!!!! I know there are companies that specialise in these things but does the club have plans? Is it possible do you think? Mike The frustrated one!!!

norman Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I know what yer mean Mike, Ah's fed up with this rain and wind! Mind you, Ah's off to St Lucia for a week at the end of the month..... but that's work of course. LOL The down side is that there isn't a paramotor for a couple of hundred miles.

Guest Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 As it happens... There could be a USA PPG trip coming up, early days though so not for a while. Anyone else want to do some PPG somewhere hot? (not forgetting the Saudi trip of course) If so, I will get on it. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 The pilotsppgclubUK is having a trip to Las Candelas 2009 and I believe the transport cost is £150.00 for 1 wing & 1 motor in a van plus your air fare if that tickles your fancy. Cheaper to buy a pair of gloves and fly here all winter mindyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardc Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Count me in. Somewhere warm, not as far as the States or Saudi Arabia and as soon as possible! Not sure where, and how we get the kit there but hope someone has a good idea. Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way really that you will get your motor ect abroad is to drive it over SO you have to have a lot going or it will cost a fortune.

mike1714 Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Suppose flying in Spain is the only option really, taking into consideration the weather aspect ? Kit driven over, get a cheap flight and then .......................flying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwardc Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Like the train idea Ben but not sure about getting the gear on board! How about a man, a van, Ferry from Plymouth to Santander and drive from there? Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
