The Yorkshire Dales and surrounding areas have some of the best Paragliding sites in the UK. The rolling hills and open moors provide gentle slopes and unobstructed landscapes for teaching beginners. In contrast, long ridges and beautiful countryside offer the perfect setting for soaring and cross-country flight. There's something surreal about flying over this stunning green landscape, a privilege that so few experience.

Active Edge uses many of its un-crowded sites and some of the local Paragliding club sites. These are carefully selected to provide high safety, accessibility, and space to train. We operate in the Yorkshire Dales seven days a week from early Spring to late Autumn. Most of our sites are around the Settle/Ingleton area allowing easy access from the north of England and Scottish borders.

We teach in small groups of 2-6 students and pride ourselves on tailoring our training programs to meet the individual needs of our student pilots. The courses are very flexible; this allows students to progress at their own pace. Our practices follow the BHPA syllabus; students will stay in the school until all BHPA requirements are met. The instructor is satisfied that the pilot is competent and knowledgeable enough to fly safely without supervision.
