Flying Snowdonia Sky Sports Sites
We welcome ALL visiting pilots but simply ask that they read our Sites Guide and act in a responsible manner towards our sites, treating them as if they were their own.
Members gain access to the full site database & the Sites Guide as well as the brilliant "Biffa's Guides" to some of the main XC routes in Snowdonia. You will also gain access to the club's telegram group and be able to join us on our XC outings!
Joining online will give instant access to the members' area of the website.
Welcome to the Snowdonia Sky Sports website.
About The Club
We are a group of hang glider and now more predominantly paraglider pilots, who fly in North West Wales. We are a club for qualified flyers- if you want to learn try one of the BHPA schools such as the nearby Snowdon Gliders.
Formed as a club in 1990 by pioneering pilots such as John Silvester we have always been passionate about flying being free and open for all.
WRITTEN BY ONE OF OUR PILOTS WHO IS ALSO A FAST JET INSTRUCTOR
The Ogwen Valley forms a 1-way system for fast jet traffic moving from the northern plain (Denbigh to Bala) to Anglesey and is regularly used in the week.
The usual crossing point for paragliders is near Zip World, which is exactly where the fast jets need to climb to 2500ft to establish comms regarding possible traffic in the Menai Straits.
