The
rugged Atlantic coast of Morocco offers a fantastic variety of sites
to paraglide. We have been using
this area for many years now (7 years here, started 1991 in Rabat!)
and it always puts a big smile on our faces. We have some secret
dune locations, ideal for learning, from first hops to bigger flights
and the chance to hone soaring skills on small
hills in smooth reliable coastal conditions.. Further south there
are sites near Tifnit, where we perch
ourselves in a small village atop a huge ridge that can be soared
for miles, with open safe landing options
everywhere. This provides a superb environment for learning, and
getting through those later EP tasks and CP tasks, or a lovely
place for some relaxed airtime for the leisure pilot. We may soar
over sea cliffs filled with cave dwellings,
wave to the local fishermen as we cruise past, and enjoy the rich
cultural experiences this unspoilt part
of Morocco has to offer. The week starts with beginner training
on the dunes, moves on to higher flights at Nigel's Place near Mirlift
and Legzira. If you have already completed some training recently
it is possible to join a few days into the course, complete and
move through EP into CP, then travel on with us to Marrakech to
complete CP.
If
you need to travel from Gatwick or Stansted or any alternative flight
on other days, please contact us first! It is possible to fly to
either Marrakech or Agadir, Agadir being a 1/12 hrs transfer from
Mirlift, Marrakech about 5hrs.If you are on a One week EP course,
we will collect you on the 13th from Agadir Airport and return you
there on the 20th. If you are on a two week, with Marrakech we will
drive you there from Agadir, but it will be better to take a return
flight from Marrakech, which is possible with Easyjet.Other pickups
may be possible or taxis arranged for you if not (not included).
Please give us as much notice as possible. It is always difficult
to make last minute arrangements so please book early.

Our Accommodation
is on site , with a Moroccan style house only a short walk from
take off. The food is fantastic,
with local produce served fresh every day. You will really experience
a true sense of this amazing country and its
people. A typical day starts with a breakfast of omelettes and home
cooked breads and pastries, served with
mint tea. Then walk to take off for the first flight of the day,
usually a smooth and uneventful top to bottom. Then as the conditions
start to build around 11 or 12 it is often soarable and smooth,
excellent for training. Sometimes it can get a bit strong for learning
safely in the afternoon, so we use this as an opportunity to complete
theory tasks. Usually by 4pm it is smooth again and will provide
super flying till the Sun sets over the Atlantic.
