about axis paragliding
 
 
 
Training around the world

Axis paragliding was first formed in 1997. The School has been through several
incarnations and locations in this time, always around Abergavenny,which has
provided us with access to some of the finest flying sites in the UK. The school
now concentrates on quality pilot training courses, geared to meet individual needs.
We are now able to take new pilots (beginners) on an
overseas course to get them most of the way, or all the way through qualification,
in conjunction with training here in South Wales. It is possible to 'mix and match'
these courses as required, which is great for adding experience of different environments.

The CFI Steve Millson has been paragliding since 1990, and has
been professionally involved with the sport since 1992. Before that he worked
as an Assistant Director / Locations manager and Cameraman for many years
on some well-known feature films.
He has also several seasons as a ski guide in the Alps, where the paragliding
adventure began.
As a BHPA qualified Senior Instructor, Paramotor instructor, and Tandem
Instructor, Steve will be the guy you do most if not all of your training with.
He is also a practising Buddhist, so if you are looking for the answers to
other questions he may have some interesting insights!

Axis use modern and up to date equipment, and often use the Tandem as part of our training tools, something rarely found in other UK schools because of larger group sizes. We also use radios for communication with the student. An area of speciality is the finishing and qualification of pilots, who are struggling to qualify with other schools. Particularly in southern England where small hills, group size,and lack of soarable sites for all wind directions are common problems. Pilots who have completed courses with foreign schools, and wish to qualify to UK standards are also welcome here. Our qualifications are recognised worldwide and are transferable to other systems, but more than that, we prepare you well for paragliding, wherever you may wish to fly. By the end of a course with Axis we are sure we will have helped you become a confident and knowledgeable pilot making the right decisions.
