Bad timing!

Well for anyone that hasn’t seen Facebook or heard on the grapevine, things took a bit of a turn for the worse over the weekend.

Despite a great collaborative effort with the guys at the Parajet factory to get my engine fixed and running, it just so happened that the timing was perfect timing because I don鈥檛 have that many flights before I head off to Afghanistan with the United States Army.

It’s still raining here in the UK but in between the showers we’re still up in the air whenever it’s possible!
Festival of 1000 bikes

Well it seems like the UK ‘monsoon’ continues through into July but that hasn’t stopped us attending events and jumping on any available opportunity for flying activities, sometimes needing to be up at some un-Godly hour of the morning or waiting for that calm little session to be available half an hour before a very late sunset.
A busy but fun couple of weeks

It’s been a really busy and fun couple of weeks with lots of tandem flights, student training, some ridge soaring on our local sand dunes and some really great motor flights as well. Pretty exciting and rewarding to be responsible for people’s first paragliding flights, either solo and tandem and to see all those huge smiles. Makes you feel pretty lucky for sure.
Basse Ham - Another weekend, another road trip!
Posted on July 04, 2012 in Phil Jennings
Last weekend was the Mondial Paramoteur (Global Paramotor) event held at Basse Ham, a small village in north eastern France. I’d been looking forward to this event for quite a while as it only happens every two years and I was relishing the thought of lots of flying and a great social without the stress and worry of a big competition.
The winning combination

Being in a similar situation to Dean after only having one short flight on my newly assembled Zenith, I heading off to the British Open. The forecast wasn’t looking good so we knew we’d be flying in between gaps in the weather, thankfully I had great faith in my kit.
British PPG Comp 2012

Having just built a fresh Parajet Zenith 200 just a few days before and without having any time to test with it due to our inclement British weather, I arrived at the 2012 British Paramotor Competition with a little bit of trepidation.
