Back in the air

PD you are a legend, thank you for getting me back into this crazy sport! Realised how much I had missed it! 😍 Injury free now and planning on keeping it that way this time

Learnt loads !

Thanks mate enjoyed every minute of it! Learnt absolutely loads, now to keep practicing. I'd recommend everyone does flight 1 regardless of experience. So much more in depth than expected.

Feel like a skydiver now

My brain hurts but I’ve loved every minute. Feel like an actual skydiver now. Thanks so much Paul. Hopefully catch up with you at langar this weekend and sort my last few bits for my B license. Can’t recommend this course enough

Astonishing!

Just completed this 101 & 102 at Tillstock with Paul; its the 2nd time I’ve been on this course and I have to be honest - the amount of information I picked up was astonishing: Paul is a great instructor and I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 days; thank you to everyone involved for getting us in the air and especially to Paul for great instruction and coaching.
