Long Mynd Soaring Club
The Long Mynd Soaring Club is a club of qualified pilots and does not train new recruits, but there are a number of schools in the West Midlands, North Wales & Mid Wales regions who can train from scratch, a couple of whom are listed below. Prospective HG pilots should consider tow launch training as it gets you in the air much more quickly, with the ability to convert to hill launch later. For a complete list of nationally available schools, please see the BHPA site.
