    I would say you'll have to go to the UK or further afield.

    Yeah seems like it alright, France and UK do seem to have several no offer, but I kinda wanted to stay a bit closer. Getting the time off work to go on a week long course could be tricky :) Thanks anyway

    I did some paragliding during the summer, if you want to learn hangliding the nearest is the uk, but once you do that you can get further training over here. best of luck with it, it was hard enough walking back up a mountain with your paragliding kit, never mind hangliding;)

    Where did you do the paragliding? At this stage I'll take almost anything :)

    Here you go the website is www.midlandparagliding.com However, its the worng time of the year for it over here. I recommend this guy, he is good, however, your constantly on standby waiting on the weather, which is a bit of a pain, but it is a great sport. Another option maybe gliding, i.e. sailplanes great fun easier location if you live in Dublin, the website for that is www.dublinglidingclub.ie Nice people as well I done a trial fight as well as a two day course with them. Best of luck with it, lets us know how you get on.
