This is a one day introduction to paragliding, giving you a flavour of what it's all about. In this first day, we teach you parachute landing falls (PLFs) and introduce you to the equipment, pre-flight checks, and assessing the site and weather conditions. You'll get to try your first launches, initially on the flat or down a gentle incline, and as you get used to the controls and become more confident, gradually work up through short hops a few feet off the ground towards longer and higher flights from further up the slope.

The first day of this course covers the same ground as the day taster above. On the second day we move on to higher hills and longer flights, and practice making turns, setting up a good approach and making a controlled landing.

If you decide to continue learning to fly after a one day taster or two day introduction course, the days you have done can count towards an elementary pilot course.
