ABOUT

We've modified our thermal workshop to take place entirely in the online classroom. As much as thermalling is a practical skill, knowledge and decision making places a huge part in you being able to practise this skill efficiently and safely. Therefore, like most aspects of our paragliding teaching, we place a significant emphasis on understanding prior to physical practice. This thermalling workshop will empower you with the knowledge and tips to help you reach cloudbase. Thermalling is an essential skill to improve and master, this skill is the backbone to going on to do cross country flights or just being able to stay up at your local hill when its not soarable
