This Winch Tandem Paragliding experience is your way to get
exhilaratingly close to man's long-held dream of flight. With this
particular paragliding experience you are towed by a winch, and you
will be flying under the expert guidance of a BHPA Tandem
Paraglider pilot. You will soar high into the sky in Derbyshire
(close to Nottingham) and fly over the woodlands and countryside of
Ashbourne.
The actual time of your paragliding flight will likely last
somewhere between 2 and 5 minutes!
This paragliding experience is also suitable for people with
disabilities, as the centre uses a wheeled 'buggy' for those with
mobility problems.Your experience starts with arrival at the
Derbyshire location, and a full briefing on safety procedures, the
equipment and a profile of your flight. You will then launch the
Paraglider via a winch and be released to enjoy a 2-5 minute flight
dependent on thermals and weather conditions. During this time your
instructor may allow you to take the controls or if you prefer just
sit back and enjoy the views.
