Fly Sussex Paragliding
Tollgate Near Lewes East Sussex BN8 6JZ
If you’ve ever had the urge to strap yourself to a flimsy piece of fabric before launching yourself into thin air, Fly Sussex are undisputedly the folk to do it with. This Sussex paragliding outfit, based just outside Lewes, prides itself on being the largest and most popular paragliding school in the country – and without a doubt the beautiful setting of the South Downs National Park has to be one of the loveliest places in the country in which to learn the ropes, so to speak. Fly Sussex runs lessons 365 days a year when weather conditions allow, has its own private flying sites, and aims to get you flying solo in a single day – a hearteningly speedy learning curve that means you’ll be up in the air doing the thing before you have a chance to get scared and change your mind. If you catch the paragliding bug, you can sign up for a five-day Elementary Pilot course.
