Paragliding Tandem Flights

Thank you for logging on to find out about Tandem Paragliding flights. We can assure you that there is no better way to experience the stunningly beautiful scenery of the Lake District than by air. You can soar with the birds along the ridges and high above the mountain tops on a paragliding tandem flight.

A paragliding flight costs Ł80 and lasts for around 20-30 minutes, (or longer if desired), and the flight can even be incorporated into your day's walk out on the fells. Simply contact Escape to arrange a day and, dependent on weather conditions and wind direction, we will arrange a time and place to meet you. Once you meet Jocky, our instructor, and you are at the take-off point, you will be given a short briefing, clipped-in to your harness and in a few short steps you will become airborne. Simply sit back and enjoy the view as you soar along the ridges and, if possible, up to cloudbase. Once the flight is over, Jocky will safely touch down on the top of the mountain or in the fields below, and you can continue on your walk*. Easy isn't it?

Jocky Sanderson is a world class pilot and instructor and he'll take you to these new heights. Jocky was ranked third in the world and has been the captain of the British paragliding team for many years. He is widely known as one of the top pilots and instructors in the world. With a wealth of experience behind him , you couldn't be in safer hands.

This has to be one of the most enjoyable and exciting ways to see the Lake District and assures you of a totally different perspective! If you wish to buy a tandem flight for someone as a gift the we send them a invitation letter and "boarding pass" on your behalf, which they can use anytime for the next year.

*If wind speeds drop we may need to glide down to land in a landing field at the bottom of the mountain.
