admin (Simon W) Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hi and welcome! You are in one of those annoying places where there are no instructors for many a mile. I may be wrong but am fairly sure you are going to need to travel a fair way. We teach people from Scotland (I would say 2-3 a year) most will come down in the summer for a week or so to get the lump of it done. You could also look at doing a course overseas depending on your situation. Welcome to the Paramotor Club! SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Brick Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 if I was going to start all over again and was looing for training then I would travel to Spain (Simon at SkyhighPPG) this way you can get a good block of training get to try things out before spending thousands on gear and stand a good chance of completing your course in a week or 2 instead of spreading it out over a year+ . I also think it works out good value 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I trained in Spain. Great weather. I did 2 separate weeks, one was not enough. After 2 weeks I was away and flying confidently (well still shit scared, but well trained) on my own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capotec2015 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Was a surprise to me too! A pilot I know based in Stirling gave me his number as he was getting lessons from him.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
