Greg has been an active paraglider pilot since 1992, qualifying as
an instructor in South Africa in 1994 running a busy school. He
moved to the UK in 1997 and qualified as a BHPA instructor working with
Carlo Borsattino before leaving to compete on the Paragliding World Cup
circuit and then returning to 'SA'. Moving back to the UK in
2008, Greg looked for an outstanding school to team up with which
naturally led him to Carlo and Flybubble Paragliding. Meet the Flybubble Paragliding team... |

Sunday
15th June turned out to be another fantastic day's flying at Firle and
Mount Caburn. Oliver Rodbard and Jenni Fleming completed several superb
30+ minute high soaring flights with bottom, slope and top landings.
Oliver did very nice slope landings and Jenni did the best spot-landing
of the day, to complete her CP! :-D Our
'day 2' students had a really good day with Greg and Nancy at Firle.
Well done to Ian Organ, Nick Byrne and Ian Message who all managed to
do their first solo flights! PLUS the wind and weather also allowed me
to get all three tandem flights done, with really good flights and very
happy passengers. Read more...

The Journey DVD.
A passionate tribute to free-flying that follows a solo paragliding
oddysey into the wildlands of a pilot's soul. An extremely original,
totally inspiring film by Greg Hamerton. Highly recommended!
From Nowhere to the Middle of Nowhere DVD.
Nine years after the original release ‘Nowhere’ has been
remastered and re-released on DVD. This multi-award winning film
follows a pair of friends as they make their audacious crossing of the
western Nepalese Himalayas by tandem paraglider in the spring of 1999. Fresh Air Riders DVD.
A 'biwingual' vol bivouac trip which sees a paraglider pilot and a hang
glider pilot fly together over spectacular countryside in South Africa
by day, camping out at night. Filmed on location in South Africa at
Lion's Head (Cape Town), Barrydale and Porterville. This film captures
the essence of the South African free-flying experience. Flight Control DVD.
The latest educational DVD from top acro star and DHV test pilot Mike
Kung. In this follow up to the acclaimed ground handling training
film Playground,
Mike uses his extensive experience as both a test pilot and acro
champion to teach you the many aspects of paraglider dynamics.
