Taster Courses
Taster courses are available in the UK in Mere, Wiltshire during July and August in the summer and also during the winter months. They are designed for complete beginners who wish to experience the sports of Paramotoring and Paragliding. They offer a good insight into the sport and allow students to learn the basic skills required. After a taster course students will not only have had a good time learning something new and exciting but also discovered whether these sports are for them. The countryside around Mere is the ideal training location for both Paragliding and Paramotoring as well as a beautiful area to fly in.
