Somewhere I may have a 'Touching Cloudbase' book you are welcome to borrow. Basic but probably OK for what you need. Will bring it tomorrow night.

Hi luis what rating have the bhpa given you as i was expecting them to give you a CP and you wouldn't need to take any exams until you wanted to get the P rating
I HATE COMPUTERS

Sorry Luis thought BHPA were going to make you do the CP exam. If its the Pilot exam the book is not that level

I just realized I got the title's post wrong and that created a little confusion. The exams are for Paragliding Pilot, not Club Pilot.
I will confirm again on monday, just in case
Thank you all for the help

Apparently the Bhpa pilots handbook has all the info you need to pass cp and p rating exams. You can Borrow mine but it's probably a better idea to get one of your own - maybe at the suction tomorrow? Or on eBay.
There are also mock exams online
