phil1975 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hi I'm Phil & I've been interested in paramotoring for years but never had enough money to get into the sport, but I did try to get my paraglider EP (as a stepping stone) through the JSHPC a couple of times, but got nowhere due to the gorgeous Welsh weather! I now work in Pirbright & saw someone fly over on a Paramotor today (white & orange wing, is that anyone from on here?) & that started me thinking... The bills are almost all paid off now & I can realistically start to look at getting some training & buying some kit. I'm determined it's going to happen this year. Getting registered onto the site & introducing myself seems as good a place to start as any so here I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hi Phil, I reckon you must be close as we often drink in the White Hart in Pirbright Steve Haze on this forum trains in the Surrey/Guildford area, give him a call and let us know how you get on !

phil1975 Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Thanks for the heads up. I've found his website & will make contact with both him & Simon. Luckily both are convenient (I Live near Bristol & pass Membury every week or two). If you're in the White Hart anytime soon could you give me a shout so we can meet up and have a chat - it would be good to start to meet a few pilots & ask a few questions over a beer.

haze Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hi Phil, That was Luke Banks that you saw flying over, the other day. He was on his way to oxford but had to turn back due to low cloud rolling in. I teach from an airfield near Flexford, which is just south of Pirbright and west of Guildford. Give me a call (07968 345554) if you are interested, but I also understand that living near Bristol, Simon may also be another alternative for you. All the best Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
