Tandem Paragliding Experience in the Brecon Beacons
Description
Paragliding is a unique way to see the landscape. It's a low impact, silent and lightweight form of flight. The ability to take off and land so slowly, makes it possible for us to fly from a wide variety of locations, and share the sky with local birds of prey. The gentle exposure to the air you feel when flying is exhilarating, without being extreme, and makes for an incredibly memorable experience.

Did a tandem paraglide from The Blorenge at Abergavenny with Andy as my pilot. Amazing attention to detail and safety instruction prior to flight. Highly experienced and totally in safe hands! What an amazing flight Andy treated me to. I’m 68 and it was a breeze to partake - so why are you waiting. I TOTALLY recommend it. Keith
My son absolutely loved his tandem paraglide today :-) The Team were so friendly, Charlie was brilliant and everything from booking to arranging the flight was made so simple. My son can’t wait to do it again and it was amazing to watch.. Would highly recommend
The whole experience was excellent. There was really clear communication when arranging the date. The instructor was skilful, friendly and engaging. I don't think it could have been better.
A memorable and Great experience. Alistair and Andy were very welcoming and put me at ease. Would highly recommend.
Excellent early birthday present for our son. He absolutely loved the tandem experience. The instructors were informative and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this company and experience. Thank you to Alistair and the team.
Amazing paragliding trip in Bannau brycheiniog. The organisation was really good and the team were all very friendly and approachable. Olly the pilot was brilliant, confident and knowledgeable, and really put me at my ease. Would highly recommend crickhowell paragliding for an amazing day out.
Amazing day at Hay Bluff. Tandem flights with my two daughters. Fully recommended. Tandem pilot made the girls feel safe and at ease whilst flying.
After flying paragliders for about five years, I decided to transition to speed flying. The school at Crickhowell was recommended to me so I signed up. There is always a little apprehension about new instructors: how hands on will they be? will the pace be too fast (or slow), are they just going to try and sell me gear I don't really need, etc. Upon meeting Alistair and Andy, the speed flying instructor, I knew this was a well-run operation and all of those worries disappeared. Alistair has a calming confidence. He delivers his training with a gentle firmness that encourages progression without you feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Everyone on his team lives for flying. They don't do this because they have to, they do this because want to. I think that this motivation and drive filters down to the rest of us. Learning to fly or taking a tandem flight with Crickhowell Paragliding will see you spending time amongst dedicated instructors, with great banter, in some of the most spectacular flying scenery in the UK. As further testament to how much I'd recommend them, whenever I get the chance I travel the four-hours from Leeds just to go flying with Ali and the Crickhowell team. I would certainly recommend them to anyone thinking of paraglider instruction, speed flying, or tandem flights in the UK.
I signed up for a speed-wing conversion with the Crickhowell team. Their knowledge was invaluable both on the hill and when it came to choosing equipment. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any paragliding instruction or tandem experience.
