Introduction

Welcome to the North Wales Hang Gliding and Paragliding Club (NWHGPC), one of the oldest free flying clubs in the UK (more about...). Whether you're an old hand or a newly qualified paraglider or hang glider pilot, we offer an environment where you can enjoy your flying to the full.

Where we fly

Our excellent flying sites are in the north-east Wales area within easy traveling time of Liverpool, Manchester and the Midlands:

Want to join?

Membership is open to all qualified (e.g. BHPA Club Pilot+) pilots who carry 3rd party liability insurance (join here) but if you are not yet a pilot and would like to learn to fly paragliders or hang-gliders, there are schools in the area that can help you learn.

If you are not sure whether the sport is for you, we have a dual hang-glider and several dual-rated paraglider pilots in the club who can sometimes give trial tandem flights.
