JUSt XC

0% THEORY, 100% FLYING

NEW IN 2024

“OUR MOST COST EFFECTIVE WAY TO FLY XC”

  • WEATHER BRIEF

    EACH MORNING you’ll get an in-depth forecast, from a zoomed out perspective with Synoptic charts and wind profiles in all heights through to our favourite, the Skew-T, for the day.

    Explaining what we think will happen as the day progresses, from simple height of Cloudbase, temperature up there and any slow, turbulent layers to be aware of.

  • AN OPTIMISED ROUTE

    HALF THE BATTLE is understanding the day, its length and operational height. From there we’ll pick the OPTIMAL route for the day’s conditions.

    Explaining the key parts, where care is needed and places where we can easily eat kilometres.

    Less complicated theory. Just rewarding flying.

  • WE GET YOU HOME

    ROUTES have a huge probability of being completed with goal usually at our base, the World Famous, Garden Relais.

    If, however, you land short it’s never a worry here, as large grassy fields await you below.

    Just pack up and drop a pin on our retrieve channel and in no time you’ll be in our cool air conditioned bus.

DAILY RUN THROUGH

After the morning wx briefing at our base we will head up to launch, around 15min in the van..

Once there we will have a short, concise talk about the route for the day.

Route briefing will consist of turnpoints for the flight and how we should attack the route, any important sections pointed out.

Once launch time is reached we’ll head off along the chosen route, Kelly will be flying with the group at the speed of the day.

Debrief will consist of a short, informal chat where Kelly will describe how he attempted the set course. Pilots will be encouraged to compare this and how they attacked the route.

Visit our FACEBOOK page for DAILY run reports and get an idea of the routes we will be attempting.

LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED

Pilots wishing to attend will need at least 50hrs plus a fair amount of thermalling experience. And, of course, all pilots will be expected to be able to launch and land out competently.

Most of the time we stay at the Garden Relais, it is a little more expensive than some paragliding accommodation. There are other options on our booking page and of course Air BNB, Booking.com etc.

Flying into Treviso or Venice is very convenient, simple and inexpensive.

Trains to Bassano take roughly 1hr from Mestre.
