Northumbria Hang-gliding and Paragliding Club

Welcome

The Northumbria Hang-Gliding and Paragliding Club is a small, but dedicated club consisting of pilots from Newcastle-upon-Tyne and surrounding areas of Durham and Northumberland.We have a good number of excellent, uncrowded sites covering most wind directions situated in the beautiful surroundings of the Cheviots and North Pennines. Visiting pilots are most welcome but please contact the club first.

Better still, come along to one of our club meetings for a beer and a chat, everyone welcome. We meet the first wednesday of every month at the Corner House, Heaton Road, Heaton, Newcastle, Tyne & Wear NE6 5RP at 7.30pm.

IMPORTANT EAST/WEST HILL INFO - CEASE FLYING EFFECTIVE 13/09/2021
Fawdon farm will change hands soon so East/West Hill will close as of 13th September 2021. All flying activities are to cease on this date. Mr Telford has granted us many years of pleasurable flying days on these sites and we wish him all the best.

Following BHPA guidance Northumbria flying sites are open for flying.

However the following must be adhered to:
1) Don't fly if you have symptoms
2) Protect Yourself and others.
3) Be COVID aware.
4) Any requests from land owner/tenant must be complied with.
5) You must keep up to date with BHPA and government advice.

Be aware of your lack of flying currency and start your reintroduction to flying by ground handling away from the top of the hill and progress to flying in easy benign conditions.
