The Norfolk Hang Gliding and Paragliding Club was established in the spring of 1975 as a tow facility for paragliders, hangliders and paracenders. Today we primarily operate paragliders and paramotors.
The club is based in Little Fransham in Norfolk, and our two grass runways can take wind from almost any direction. If the weather is flyable chances are we will be flying!
We are a friendly club, with a wide range of members from newly-qualified CPs to XC sky gods! Flying is a constant learning experience and we encourage our members to further their skills and knowledge through training and events organised by the club.
We have now replaced all of our wire tow lines with the much lighter Dynema and are the first club in the UK to operate a fully electric winch, the Nova Elowin.
Fly With Us
NEw to Flying?
We don’t train new pilots directly at the club. To start flying with us you must get your BHPA Club Pilot rating at a registered school. Most of our members trained at BHPA schools in the UK and abroad, starting with their Hill flying qualification before signing up for a Tow Conversion at the club.
BHPA Hill Pilot? (with Over 10 Hours)
Learning to tow opens up lots of flying options. Your tow conversion takes a minimum of 10 launches and an exam. We run tow conversions throughout the year.
