| "A big-big thank you goes out to you Andrew, for helping those
of us that are yet to become Sky-Gods. We are all part of your
ever growing family."
Our training
sites are situated inland from the beautiful Jurassic Coast area
of West Dorset . We have hills that cater for all wind directions
and enjoy probably the best proportion of flyable days across all
of southern England . Each flying day we meet up on the hill we
will be training on. Our four most frequently used sites are listed
below. The links are to Multimap.com and the circle shows roughly
where to park. You can zoom out to get a larger scale map to find
the best route for you.
Swyre Hill
is a smaller hill overlooking the sea near the village
of West Bexington (home of Peppers
by Post - famous for growing the Dorset
Naga, world's hottest chilli pepper!) The proximity to the sea
make for smooth dependable winds and in the summer we often come
here to fly in the sea breeze. The best wind direction is WSW.

Telegraph
Hill (AKA Batcombe) is our largest site and a great soaring
ridge. At the moment we allow this to be an 'open' site as it is
one of the best cross country ridges in the South West with experienced
pilot frequently flying to the coast at Purbeck. The best wind direction
is NW.

Eggardon
is a medium sized hill set on the side of the Wessex region's most
impressive ancient British hill fort. Looking out from the hill
you see one of the most unspoilt and quiet part of Dorset . The
best wind direction is NNE.

Folly Hill
is an amazingly useful hill - the ridge curves round giving
medium sized slopes that are good for SW, S, SE and even E. Please
note that the Folly is very strictly only to be used by Flying Frenzy
Paragliding for instructional purposes. Visiting pilots are not
allowed.
