Parapente Paragliding school is one of the longest running schools in the UK.  They have been teaching people to fly since 1987 at their base in the Derbyshire Peak District.

It’s run by Chief Flying Instructor, Paul Allmark, who has literally thousands of hours of flying under his belt and has been teaching since 1986.  You’ll be in good hands!

It’s within driving distance from Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, Manchester and Birmingham, making it a great place to come and learn paragliding if you’re around any of those cities.
