Fantastic! BW has a great gift in his ability to impart knowledge, complemented by a good and patient ear. Fast delivery, Highly recommen… oh shit, there goes my ebay response again…

The very good rating scale doesn’t adequately describe how I felt about the course.  I thought it really was excellent and such a good learning experience.  Brian has so much experience and he imparts that experience in such a positive way.  I learnt so much and had such a good learning experience. I’m looking forward to getting more air time and more XC flights and possibly doing the XC and competition course with Brian once I’m more experienced.  It was very hard going back to work today (especially since I’m still sick!) after such a good weekend. The course was catered to different levels of flying experience which was great (ie me with 12 hours vs those with lots of coastal hours, in land hours etc). Many thanks – I had a blast!

Really enjoy the course. Brian and Bard are great. As a novice that just finished my course few months ago, this clinic helps me to be kore confident in thermalling and preparing myself for my first XC. Thank you Brian and Barb. Bernard

Really valuable information made available, and very good way of passing information. I really appreciated the way of teaching; this was totally adapted to what I am looking for. It makes the course continue for us if we want to put the time to continue it for ourselves. This is a great gift! Organisation was very clear and efficient. Retrieve very efficient.  We didn’t lose any time in the car, every minute was spent learning. I was satisfied over my expectations!!!The involvement that both of you showed is unbelievable! And I am even more impressed by your email saying that we could still contact you if we need help.

Alway’s a pleasure learning from someone with years experience and great knowledge

Extremely useful course. It was really interesting to see training for paragliding from a scientific perspective which was completely new to me. It was probably pitched a bit too seriously for me (being at the lower experience end of the spectrum). I guess that is why I initially enquired about the thermalling/XC course rather that the comp course – so not a criticism of the competition course as such.

Probably the most difficult step for low-airtime pilots is to get beyond the sleddie and ridge soaring stage. Brian’s clinic is perfect for that. He nudges you along and modifies your practices without putting you under pressure. The organisation is superb, with lots of flying time, good coverage of theory, well organised retrieves and very helpful debriefs. Bright has superb flying sites and the Outdoor Inn (aka Camp Krusty), which is right below Mystic launch, is the perfect base for your stay in Bright. The pilots doing the clinic all had different levels of experience, but each of us had our best flight to date on the first day of the clinic and then exceeded it on the following day. Brian’s clinic will reignite your interest in flying – Barry

Excellent vehicle! I love the swivel chairs Well organised and very efficient. I can’t thank Barb enough for her wonderful way of returning us from remote locations. The track logs at the end of the day were good and showed me that lines taken are important. This course should be compulsory for all pilots thinking of flying XC and comps. There is just so much to do and so much information.

The course was excellent! Brian’s knowledge and experience is second to none, every question that we had for him was explained very well and in terms that we could understand. I will be booking future courses. I believe that no matter the level of pilot you are you would be able to get some thing out of it. Thanks again,

Very good value. I felt well supported and catered for as a novice; also good clinic for the more experienced.

I had a great three days and was extremely pleased with what I did yesterday – a very big first for me: thanks to both you and Andrew for helping me achieve that. Harrietville is within easy reach! On top of yesterday, I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Even Monday, with no flying, was rich with information, reflection and learning. I think you are stunningly good on many fronts, not the least of which is ensuring that you wring every available moment to create some form of learning. I hope I do not sound too exuberant about all this, but I have been on many courses for all different sorts of things, from the very practical to the very intellectual, and I would have to say that you are one of the best teachers I have ever come across. You are encouraging, positive, use questions that help us think for ourselves and come in with your own experience and guidance after getting us engaged and thinking about it. And attention to each individual’s specific goals and needs. I also thoroughly enjoyed Andrew’s contribution as well. He, like yourself, is positive, encouraging, professional and concerned for the welfare and learning of all of us. I think that you two make a truly excellent team. I will definitely try and book in a tandem sometime in the next month or two for one of you to take me through wingovers and spirals (let me know how much that would cost).

Wish I had connected a lot earlier. Very impressed with professional style, knowledge and willingness to share with pilots. Had a fantastic time and improved XC understanding and skill.

What a great and worthwhile experience the clinic was. Brian’s experience and knowledge and willingness to share this was much appreciated. This clinic is a must do for all paragliders wanting to advance their thermalling skills, and what better place to do it then the lovely area of Bright.
