Learning in Somerset

[Quinoxyfen]

Hi eveyone, I live near Taunton Somerset and would like to start paramotoring. I took up paragliding and got my club pilots licence, but in 1992, and flew for a bit but I found that it clashed with work too much, and so gave it up. Is there any where near that will teach me? I would think that I would need to start from scratch as it been so long since I have flown. I am a farmer and would love to be able to see the farm from the air, now that I am older (47) I have a bit more time to devote to it. Thanks James

I reckon you'll get lots of offers. On the proviso you don't mind peeps using a field or ten

Hi James

Hi, like you I have just returned to the sport from a long break from paragliding, I re-trained with a great instructor in south wales, got me back flying in no time, really helpful and willing to spend the time to make sure I was safe and comfortable with what I was doing, more than happy to pass on his details.

I am trying to get a Bristol / north Somerset club off the ground (no pun intended) so if you fancy travelling north for a beer one evening there are a couple of us that would be happy to share any collective knowledge.

Good luck, look forward to flying with you soon

Parajet are based in Semley near Shaftesbury. Why not pop over and have a chat and check out some kit while you are there. Staff are friendly and will give you some great customer service.

I will be popping down soon after Xmas also ( as soon as they are back to work ) if you want to hook up.

And I will do you a good discount for some good Cider from a local farm.
