November newsletter
Winter is finally here…but not as you'd know it.
Following a couple of dicky wintery weeks, where we finally saw the change from Summer to Winter. We are now enjoying fabulous weather here again in Spain, great flying conditions for all levels of pilot from Club pilots keen to soar to winter sunny thermic northerlies!
As the mountains get super busy with visiting foreign pilots our course schedule, turns back to teaching paraglider pilots and Paramotor pilots.
Next Spring we head for one week to Turkey - SIV - SIV - SIV and more SIV
Dates : May 4th - May 11th
Nic & I are heading to refresh our SIV skills with Lee Tryhorn at Free flight Academy In May.
Expect much screaming from myself as I've not stalled a wing in twenty years! Either way we are in the good and capable hands of friendly experts!
Lee is one of the leading SIV instructors out there, we are very lucky to have reserved a spot with him. Please book direct if you'd like to join us
Our fabulous training schedule brings quick and solid results
So the school has been back up and running from the 11th September, the guided weeks shortly after. We've had lots of students through, enjoying some great flying. The weeks have been action packed with students regularly gaining 2 plus hours soaring with other pilots.
We have been enjoying Nice Autumnal temperatures of 23 degrees, following what felt like an endless summer of heat!
Course dates are now out for Spring, but more detail will go up over the following month.
