BASSANO, ITALY, OCTOBER 2007 A great trip, everybody excelled themselves in the air , the weather was pretty good and the company truly excellent! We pretty much took over the b/b (and the bar). Food and wine is renowned in northern Italy, and once we sorted out the supply of salad it just got better and better. Bob has taken a lot of footage of the whole adventure and Rob is going to edit some of it onto dvd. Watch this space.... I have fixed the file transfer problem (Wahey yabba dabba boobie!) and now there are pictures on this site. Miranda is sounding out interest for the next trip. At the moment it looks like Spain or Morrocco for early airtimers in the new year, but as ever we are at your service and very flexible. Call us on 01983 731 611 and suggest a destination; chances are we can put something together for you at short notice. Another idea bubbling along is for a paramotoring safari to Italy. Load all your motors into our ten-ton tour bus and see you in Feltre for fabulous flying fun following Francis.... ......................................................................................................................................... We went to fly Bassano for the week of 22nd October 2007 and had a ball. Sure to go again and would love to have you join us. Butterfly Paragliding is the original flying holiday destination outfit (formerly known as Wild Adventure) and has been teaching overseas flying for nearly 20 years in New Zealand, America Africa and Europe. It was another classic mountain tuition courses covering both the theory and practical side of flying mountainous terrain and how to cope with and avoid the hazards that occur in such conditions and how to get the most out of big flying. All pilots on this holiday expanded their personal boundaries, I am sure Scottie will remember for a very long time, looking down across the Dolomites at Austria and then seeing Venice in the other direction as we got him really high for the first time! Our price for transport, B&B, theory and practical tuition was just £495. All you have to do is organise your own flight from Stanstead to Verona (Venice) or Trevisso or from Gatwick to Marco Polo (Venice). You will also need your own flying kit including a reserve and a radio, which can be obtained from us. Probably 2 metre radio will be most effective, So it goes....radios drive me crazy but they are essential really. Most pilots in Europe seem to use 2 metre 144 -145 sets, expanded, discreetly. Helmet kits are useful, let us know if you need one; they can take a while to arrive.We have some speaker mikes in stock. Use mobile phone set to roam for retrieve messaging. Favourite reserve parachute is the Annular from Independence. We have a couple of unused second hand reserves in the shop, any reserve is better than no reserve, give us a call. Pilot club members get first dibs! Bring your driving licence ( so you can drive and be on the car hire) and BHPA membership (so you can fly the mountain with a "Flycard" membership of the Grappa club). We will hire the vehicles closer to departure time, at the moment it looks like two or three cars, maybe a minibus van. Please don’t forget to organise your insurance too. Call Yvonne at Airsports Insurance for the BHPA cover Bassano is a wonderful flying holiday destination. It offers both rewarding and challenging flying coupled with superb food, Italian scenery and excellent wine, check out the pictures .... This really is an opportunity not to be missed and places are filling fast. To be in on the trip, please call Miranda immediately to secure your place with a £50 deposit. Remember – before you embark on flying outside of the UK, you should always think twice, after all your safety is important and our extensive experience might just save you from a nasty knock. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call us on 01983 731 611. Butterfly Isle of Wight We have been running overseas trips safaris and adventures since 1989 and in the journey have gathered a lot of experience. In the light of emeging arguments regarding the proliferation of air travel, we are also pursuing more options for local variations on the free flight theme. We are becoming ever more involved in tow launching and paramotoring as ways of getting you airborne, our tow operation is great fun; on a quiet day recently Richard could just be heard, whooping and hollering as he flew down to a little cloud at 1200 ft! FUN! It is also sf course fabulous for all those club pilot tasks. Why not consider the Isle of Wight for a bit of Tandem training,winching, paramotoring, speed soaring, kayaking, or kiting for a long weekend instead? If you insist on going further afield we can help you with contacts and guidance in heaps of fine locations including Spain, France, Madeira, Italy, Crete, Turkey, Greece, New Zealand , Zambia, South Africa, Portugal, Austria, Germany and India.
