SkySchool has been very busy lately hence the lack of updates. We had a very enjoyable, yet extremely wet and windy, 6 weeks training in Mere, Wiltshire. When the weather allowed us we made the most of the conditions and did a lot of flying, particularly ridge soaring on the Mere downs which was great fun! While Alex, Kester, Rob and Harry were in the UK, Dean Eldridge competed in the Paramotor World Championships in the Czech Republic and came 10th which was an amazing achievement!At the beginning of the month SkySchool returned to what is fast becoming their 3rd training location, Lake Annecy in the French Alps, for a Paragliding Holiday. The trip was designed for those who had already completed either a Paragliding or Paramotoring course and it proved to be a great success. The conditions were ideal and we flew every day and plan to return in June 2009 for not only a Paragliding Holiday but also an SIV course.
After the Paragliding Holiday Alex, Dean and Kester went to the 'Coupe Icare' festival of flight in St Hilaire, near Grenoble. The festival was great fun and we flew with several hundred other pilots at the same time which was unnerving yet quite an experience. We have now returned to Spain in search of some sun and have kicked off the first of 6 Paramotoring courses. We still have some availability at the end of October so those who are looking to get flying before the winter sets in should visit the SkySchool website.
