SkySchool's May Newsletter

SkySchool's Spring 2010 season did not get off to a great start when the Icelandic Volcano only allowed 3 out 7 students to arrive on time for course 1. However, when everyone did turn up the weather was on our side and we managed to do some flying. April was a particularly hot month with a maximum temperature of 29 degrees! We therefore thought that May was going to follow suit, how wrong we were! The first two weeks in May saw the temperature plummet to 15 degrees due to strong winds and heavy rain. We were teaching some Omani Paratroopers who were not used to such extreme weather, amazingly however we still managed to find some windows of opportunity and they all flew. We have 4 more courses to run followed by a week's XC/SIV Paragliding course in Annecy and then a 2 week Paragliding road trip in France, Switzerland and Italy!

The UK courses have been confirmed and this year we are only running three, all of which will take place in August. After this we return to Spain for another 8 weeks of Paramotoring and 1 week of Paragliding in France. Fingers crossed for a good English summer and we hope to see lots more pilots in the sky soon!
