blaguegate Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hello from an aspirational paramotor pilot Last Summer I saw a couple of PPG taking off from a local field and I haven't been able to shake the image since, reading forums and more recently Powered Paragliding Bible to further my understanding A couple of questions please: - is there a club near to where I live (Ormskirk Lancashire/Merseyside - although good access to greater Manchester area)? - without wishing to contravene etiquette, are there any recommended schools or trainers within the area? Grateful for any advice Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
