Next Commitee Meeting starting on 29/02/2012.
Welcome to the Long Mynd Soaring Club.
Here you will find information about our sites and activities. Check the forum for notices about any short term airspace restrictions, alternate landing fields etc. LMSC Members please log in to post to the forum or check your membership details.
Visiting pilots are very welcome to fly most of the Long Mynd sites. All pilots flying our sites must be BHPA members (or members of an equivalent foreign organisation) as this includes insurance to cover injuries to other pilots or damage to property. 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 and bank holidays. Why not join the LMSC if you fly our sites regularly?

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!

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 Shropshire, 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.
