I signed up for a two day course with Flybubble on somewhat of a whim. After a really enjoyable first two days with Carlo and Nancy I had a horrible feeling I was hooked and signed up for the remainder of the EP course at the end of day 2.

What really impressed me throughout the remainder of the EP was the class size never more than 3 or 4 students to an instructor, the attention to detail, safety and the quality of instruction... exactly what I wanted from someone who was teaching me how to launch myself off a hill and one day fly thousands of feet above the ground!!

I bought my kit from Carlo and was really happy with the time taken to ensure that what I bought was right for me.

Again, throughout the CP course class size never rose above 4 students per instructor and I really felt I had time to learn, the opportunity to get 1-2-1 feed back and was well looked after at all times. Carlo's experience of teaching his sport to range of people from different walks of life and who all had different learning styles really shone through.

Thank you Carlo, Nancy and Greg!

After getting a lucky climb from out front of the E/SE face of The Blorenge, I eventually topped out at approx 3500ft ASL just behind T/O...

After a fantastic day's teaching on Thursday 5th March 2009, the weather forecasts were looking too strong for flying students safely the next day, but possibly good for going cross country from the Devils Dyke...

The weather forecasts looked good for flying at the Devils Dyke on 27th October 2008, although with winds a little on the strong side and cloudbase not very high, so I deluded myself that I could afford to take the day off and go fly!

Checking forecasts the day before, it was looking like a good XC day in the UK for Friday 15th August 2008. Difficult decision (as always!): Where had highest chance of being best?...

Kent TV wanted to make a TV program giving an insight to the joys of paragliding and what it takes to fly cross country by paraglider from the South Downs in Sussex. They came to Devils Dyke one fine day in July, when the weather forecasts showed there was a good chance of going XC...

On Wednesday 21st May 2008 the weather forecasts were looking potentially very good for a paragliding cross country flight (or two!) the next day from High & Over...

The day after I returned from a week of epic flying in Croatia, and with a thousand things to do, the weather had its usual laugh and decided to look rather good for an XC (Cross Country) flight from Mount Caburn...
