The season has started - in North Devon Tandem Hang Gliding and Paragliding is a beautiful sight!

Flying the coastline of Woolacombe and Putsborough - the views are exceptional - with the beach, the sea and the patchwork quilt of the countryside in the south-west to admire!

Offering both Paragliding and Hang Gliding Air Experiences we have two flying instructors with a wealth of knowledge and experience to share the sky and point out the beauty of flying with the birds.

You can see our availability on the bottom of our webpage - showing which dates and what times of day we fly. Remember it is a weather dependent activity so we do sometimes have to reschedule due to the conditions.

There is a very active local club that also fly in the area and we share our flying sites with them. You can find more information on the club here: https://ndhpc.co.uk/

Getting ready for the 2023 season!

The evenings are starting to draw out and the sun is starting to show it's face a bit more now!

Our schedule for this year is to fly the Tandem Paraglider up to March and then both the Tandem Paraglider and Tandem Hang Glider from the end of March onwards.

Unsure of the difference between the two? See the pictures below..

We are in effect flying in the same air, except the Paraglider is usually in lighter winds whereas the Hang Glider allows for a higher wind speed.

Our sites are based around North Devon - Woolacombe, Putsborough and Trentishoe.
