Tandem paragliding experience in Sussex

Tandem paragliding experience in Sussex

Mile High Paragliding offer scenic tandem paragliding flights at various sites in Sussex. Fly with an experienced instructor, and see the South Coast from a new perspective. No experience needed!

Our tandem pilot Ian became hooked on paragliding after going on a tandem flight in Turkey more than 10 years ago. He went straight on to get his own pilot licence, and gained experience flying in Spain, Turkey, Africa, India, and Nepal, as well as the UK. Five years ago, he realised that he wanted to share his passion (obsession!) with other people, so he decided to get his tandem licence.

Itinerary

WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON THE DAY?

On the day, your pilot will brief you on the flight before strapping you safely into the harness and attaching both of you to the wing. When you are ready, he will tell you to look forwards and run a few steps towards the edge of the hill while he lifts the wing behind you. Before you know it, your feet will have left the ground — you are now flying! Your pilot will help you get comfortable in your seat and will be able to speak to you throughout the flight. When it's time to land, you will be told to shift forwards in your seat so that you can stand up on reaching the ground. The pilot will bring you into landing carefully and then slow the wing at the right time so that you gently touch down.

FLY YOUR WAY

Do you want a calm, relaxing flight with gentle turns and the chance to appreciate the scenery unfolding below you? Or are you an adrenaline junkie looking for a more thrilling flight? Let your pilot know your preference in advance and he can make sure that you have the flight that suits you. If you'd prefer to see how you feel in the air first, that's no problem. You will be able to communicate with your pilot throughout the flight.
