EVENTS
The SHPF have organised the following events, open to all SHPF and affiliated club members.
- An Evening of 'Virtual Wing Control' with Lee Tryhorn.
Wing Control Training Initiative, Reference WCTI-EVENT-VIRTUALWINGCONTROL-001
Join us for an insightful evening of virtual wing control with the super knowledgeable Lee Tryhorn!
If you don't know him, he is an absolute character and his enthusiasm for the sport is contagious! Lee has been flying and teaching paragliding since 2005. His main drive is acrobatic paragliding which has given him a passion for teaching security in flight and glider control clinics.
Tune in and sharpen up your skills before the Scottish XC season kicks off, and hear about our upcoming SHPF group wing control course!
