Intermediate
The Intermediate Paragliding Course runs for three days over a five day period. This allows us to look at the forecast and choose the suitable days to maximise our chances of getting great flying days.
The emphasis of the Paragliding Intermediate Course will be tailored to suit the level of the group. The groups are kept small so all pilots are able to get personal attention.
We meet at the Active Flight Paragliding office at 9am on a Monday morning, unless alternate arrangements are made.
