Digifly, manufacturers of high specification flight instruments, are proud to be sponsoring the 2009 British Paragliding Cup!

Sfizio is a family run Coffee Shop, Pizzeria and Bar that offers a variety of authentic Italian food from pizzas and pastas to sweets and cakes, all home made on our premises. We can also cater for any kind of event from office parties to weddings.

Gradient has the honour of 6 current world records, the European XC record, the British XC record, the British Flight to Goal record as well as overall wins in all the major paragliding events: World Championship, World Cup and the X-Alps. Last year Luca Donini aboard his Gradient Axax SR7 won what is perhaps the highest rated event of the comp scene, The Europeans. This completes the set of the top trophies. This amazing record of success is mirrored by year on year sales growth in a market where many brands are seeing recession or turning to hype to hold on. Many pilots have achieved their best results on Gradient gliders which we consider reflects our aim to always build wings that are a pleasure to fly....You too may break a record some day. Your dreams are waiting... fly there!

Red Dragon Paragliding is based in South Wales and we aim to offer the best deals on all Gradient, Independence & Digifly paragliding equipment. The website is operated by experienced paragliding enthusiasts, so you can be sure that we know what we are selling you!

V12 is a specialist outdoor retailer based in Llanberis in Snowdonia. They supply all types of equipment for your outdoor needs and have supplied equipment for many paragliding expeditions, where weight and size were at a premium.

Cross Country was founded in 1988 by Sherry Thevenot, a Californian who'd moved to Dijon, France. Flying in Europe and travelling the world as an FAI official, Sherry felt that an international forum was needed for pilots to stay in touch with the latest happenings in the global flying community. Cross Country quickly developed a reputation as a passionate magazine, connected with the world of competition and development. And with colour printing and the desktop publishing revolution of the early 1990s came the ability to broadcast a wealth of superb photographs to the flying world.

Ulric Jessop deserves a mention for the work he does in providing some of the competition scoring and communications software, without which we'd be very much in the dark ages. Together with his wife, Ruth, they rent out an apartment in France (Les Basses Beaumettes) for all outdoor types including paragliding.
