Bob Drury XC Courses

We're delighted to be working with Bob yet again who has been providing XC training here for many years. Bob doesn't need much introduction; his experiences in the Himalayas and other areas have been well documented on television, the free-flight press and in his highly regarded lectures and videos.

The courses cover all aspects of cross country flying including thermalling, reading terrain and clouds, and maximising the performance of your equipment. Strong emphasis is put on building a clear picture in the pilot's mind as to how thermals and winds in a mountain range work to create a circulation of air and hence a predictable pattern of lift. Knowledge is security in this sport and the better your understanding, the less likely you are to fly into danger without realising it, and the more you can gain from your understanding of the air currents.

These courses are to help qualified pilots to use their paragliders to go further and higher safely. All pilots must be able to launch, soar, thermal and land out on their own safely as these are pre-requisites of cross country flight.

Bobs courses have been a great success with most pilots clocking personal bests day after day! And that's real flying not just scurrying off down wind,but doing out and return and triangle flights. If you would like to get that sort of mileage under your belt why not book up for this year?
