The club is fortunate to have a number of stunning, diverse sites in South West Wales, stretching west from the Neath valley to Pembrokeshire. The stunning coastal site of Rhossili probably being the ‘jewel in our crown.’ We also have some excellent inland sites in the western part of the Brecon Beacons and The Black Mountain. We welcome BHPA qualified pilots (Club Pilot and above) and BHPA approved foreign equivalents to join our club and enjoy our breath-taking sites.
Our mission is to promote the exhilarating sport of free flight whilst ensuring safety and camaraderie among our members. We aim to foster a supportive environment for ALL levels of pilots. Each year we host several educational and social events.
The club does not provide formal training as members are required to have qualified with a BHPA registered school, our sport being hazardous and requires structured training for safety and enjoyment reasons. For those new to the sport, BHPA schools can be contacted via this link: British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association.
We have a team of Club Coaches providing informal support and guidance on the hillside (including site briefings, launch and landing tips). These Coaches also help Club Pilots to progress safely along the pathway to the Pilot Rating required for cross-country flying.
The club has a number of means by which it communicates with members, the main ones being Telegram and email and upon joining the club you’ll be invited to these and we also have an active Facebook social group.
We pay landowners an annual license fee for access to some of our sites and some require flyers to be members of our club. Whether or not a site is ‘open’ or ‘members-only’ is clearly stated in our sites guide. Please help us keep our annual membership fee low and access to the sites by adhering to these site rules.
We look forward to you joining us in the air, fly safe and high.
