Description: NWHGPC: North Wales Hang gliding and Paragliding Club
Founded on the Wirral in the early 1970's, we are a group of hang glider and paraglider pilots who fly mainly in North Wales, although we still have a site on the Wirral (Thurstaston). Our BHPA affiliated club liaises with local landowners to provide flying sites where members can do foot launched, un-powered flying. Our club is comprised of the newly qualified with Club Pilot ratings right through to pilots with decades of experience and everything in between. A warm welcome is extended to all newcomers.
Although many of our members live proximate to North Wales some pilots travel from far afield to experience of our sites. Our membership costs just £20 per annum, so if you're visiting our sites regularly or just on a flying holiday in the area, why not consider joining? - the small visitor's fee for flying Llangollen will pay for itself in short order. Members use the club forum and various messaging apps to co-ordinate flying activities.To join the club please email [email protected]
We traditionally meet at 7.30pm onwards on the first Monday of each month and all members are welcome. As restrictions are lifted we aim to re-convene as before, but keep an eye on the club forum for details and venue.
