Airworks Paragliding Centre

First Class experience with these guys. I completed my paragliding (hill) and (power) within the 12 days allocated and there was no funny business with using a day up if the weather turned out less than ideal. I was lucky to have Steve Purdie as my 1:1 instructor throughout and he knows his stuff and then some, his instructional technique was also spot on for me. I highly recommend and will be back for more coaching as time allows.

Great bunch of guys, instructors very knowledgable and very friendly. Had a great day, highly recommend this company if you want to Learn to paraglide or just want a taster. Be prepared for a lot of walking up and down hills, but well worth the fun.

Amazing experience with patient and caring instructors. I was fortunate enough to include myself alongside an excellent group of first timers; we received some great 1 to 1 assistance anytime we were struggling without holding back anyone else in the group or feeling that anybody was missing out on the tuition they were after. I left absolutely knackered and after a night of rest (and some good stretching exercises) i would do it all again

Would love to leave a higher review as the instructors were very friendly. However, the day itself was really quite confusing and had a number of things to improve on. The location was a good large hill with multiple different heights to take off from (note you have to walk up it each time carrying your chute). First issue was there was a LOT of waiting around. Normally this would be okay, except no explanation was given, meaning we were standing around without knowing why. However, the main problem was the instruction. There were three instructors, sometimes talking at the same time, and definitely contradicting each other. At one point an instructor advised that the steepness of the hill directly related to how quickly you took off, and then immediately after another instructor said that had nothing to do with it. It was almost comical. We were first taught to run forward with the wing above us, whilst leaning over at the hip but without taking off. It appeared most of us were doing it wrong as we mostly all took off mistakenly. However, when we tried to get clarification what we were doing wrong we couldn't get a straight answer. Most people's faces were either bemused or concerned, and I spoke to several people in the group afterwards also agreed they had no idea what they were supposed to be doing. It got worse when immediately after this we were told this time we would be TRYING to take off and fly. However, the instructions were identical to the previous exercise where we were NOT supposed to take off. It was very frustrating and somewhat concerning that even after asking for clarification multiple times we were still very unclear. The method of teaching very much seemed to be give it a try and we'll tell you what you did wrong afterwards but never actually saying what had to be done right. As I say a friendly bunch, but unfortunately I cannot consider extending the taster day into the full 10 day course with this company.
