Frequently Asked Questions

See our ‘Where we fly‘ page for a list of sites we fly and their directions.

NO, the site we choose to fly on the day you book is determined by a number of different weather factors.

The easy answer is no; we don’t have a minimum or maximum age to fly. So we can fly children, but they must weigh at least 40kg. For elderly people, they must be in good physical condition and be able to run on takeoff and landing, normally we ask that anyone over the age of 65 contact us to discus the risks involved. Also you are required to walk to the take off, sometimes around 20mins walk. So you must be in good physical health. One of our sites also involved climbing a small fence if we land at the bottom.

Yes, you MUST weigh between 40 and 90kilogrammes (6.3 -14stone). If you are over 90kg and come to fly, you will be turned away without a refund, I’m afraid. Nothing personal, just basic physics. We do sometimes weigh passengers if we think you might be over the weight range.

The short answer is yes, but you won’t be able to use a head or chest mount for flight safety reasons. We do offer in-flight filming and editing as an add-on service.

No, we are a paragliding company. For skydiving, you’ll need to contact a DZ that offers skydiving.

During the British summer time GMT, we fly 7 days a week, until sunset (weather permitting). During the winter we fly weekends only.

The short answer is, probably not. Paragliding is extremely weather dependent. The evening before your flight, we look at weather charts and find out what the wind speed and wind direction is. These are two very vital things in paragliding. We cannot fly if the winds are too strong (this can cause issues while launching/landing), we can also only fly hills where the wind is coming straight up the hill. For instance, if there is a Northerly wind on the day you book, we need to travel to a North facing hill to fly, same with other wind directions. Sunny weather doesn’t always mean safe flying conditions!

This changes throughout the year, but we do reschedule flights from time to time, due to unsafe weather conditions. Please don’t be upset if your flight is rescheduled a few times, as this is for your own safety. Flying a paraglider in stormy/very windy conditions is not fun, trust me.

I’m afraid we are unable to fly any women that are pregnant, if you do become pregnant after you’ve purchased your flight, we will be happy to extend your voucher to a time after the birth. This is for the safety of you and your child.
