Re: [TVHGC Members] Kit wanted for big and small

Firstly welcome Colm and Julie to the world of Paragliding and a big well done on getting your CPs on behalf of our club members.  I hope you have lots of pleasure flying.

If not already done so you are more than welcome to join the Thames Valley club and we are a friendly club of pilots with nice sites.  Details on joining are on the website.

We have coaches available who can be contacted via Facebook coaching page (link below) or via coaches@tvhgc.co.uk even if that's to learn a bit about the sites and conditions specific to our club.  This is best organised around when you are planning on heading out.  If there is any specific coaching you both require please contact me.  Also have a look at the sites guide and get a site briefing from a pilot on the hill when you can.  There is never any silly questions just keep asking as this is the way to learn.
Regards equipment as you have mentioned there are wings and equipment available from a variety of sources including pilots who occasionally advertise in our club.   New equipment and some second hand kit is available from the local schools who also have shops.  Some may respond based on your message here and contact you directly.  To be safe I would advise checking that any second hand gliders have a recent service test report you can check over prior to purchase.  Also I advise that fitting any reserve to a harness is done by a BHPA licensed packer (details on their website) or a manufacturer trained packer who has experience in doing that.  Also when looking at kit your "all up weight " is you, your kit,  the glider, reserve and harness.

Any questions just ask!

Best regards,
Nik.

Hi All

Julia and I have recently become club pilots with Simon and Fly Spain and are now looking for kit.

We're looking for EN A or low end B gliders and beginner friendly harnesses.  Is anyone upgrading and looking to sell?
Also does anyone recommend a place to pick up new reserves & helmets?

I'm 6'2 (188cm) all up weight ~110kg

Julia's 170cm all up weight ~ 65kg

Cheers
Colm Hartigan
