Welcome to the Long Mynd Soaring Club.
Please log in to enable access to members-only areas.
Visiting pilots are very welcome to fly the Long Mynd sites. All pilots flying our sites must be BHPA members or hold the equivalent third party insurance. Before flying, please read our site guide and speak to a committee member, club coach or experienced local pilot about bottom landings, local conditions, airspace, etc. You can find details of our club coaches on the coaching page.
Please note: if you are not an LMSC member, there is a three pounds per day fee for flying the Long Mynd at weekends. Why not join the LMSC if you fly our sites regularly?
For information on local weather, go to our new weather page
The Long Mynd is increasingly busy, especially at weekends, and parking is becoming a serious problem. Please do car share if at all possible, leaving cars in Church Stretton, and coming up in one car. This also makes retrieves easier after an XC!
Contribute to our local air ambulance at Midlands Air Ambulance
We are a club of qualified pilots and do not train new recruits. However, there are local schools who will be happy to teach you to fly. For a local paragliding school, contact Beyond Extreme based in Church Stretton. And for hang gliding and paragliding in the Peak District, contact Airways Airsports.
And if you want to see why we fly, James Vernon has filmed this video of hang gliders flying on the Mynd.
