| We will be staying with David and Rachel from Alez-up in Riviers, just
outside Larragne.
The course will be run by Chris White and Dave & Rachel from
Allez-up, who are all great mates of mine and have been working
with me for over 7 years. All have a lot of experience flying
in and around Laragne & St Andre and they are incredibly gifted
pilots and instructors.
The plan is for students to fly into Nice airport, which is served
by many of the low cost airlines. It is best to get a flight that
arrives in the evening of the 24th. Our minibus will then be at
the airport to match the arrival time of the last pilot. (approx.
22:00) As a group you will all be driven to Laragne. At the end
of the week you will also want to book a flight out of Nice in
the evening of 1st may. The minibus will then depart Laragne to
match the earliest departure time, (approx.' 16:00 departure from
Laragne)
Others choose to drive. (Laragne is a 12-14 hour drive from Calais,
with motorway class roads almost all the way).

Home of the Chabre open competition, Laragne is a fabulously versitile
place to fly. Pilots have the choice of flying above thereliable feeds
of the mountains or crossing the wide valleys and practicing real flatland
flying, making use of the light winds. Laragne has reliable conditions,
and is suitable for all levels of pilot, maninly due to it's huge choice
of take off sites, well established infrastructure, infinite array of
potential routes and tasks, breath taking scenery and local hospitality.
