Hang Gliding in Belfast

UHPC has been an active gliding club in Northern Ireland since 1975. Every weekend you can visit us to see how our team works and what is gliding like, how enjoyable and amazing it can be. Hang Gliding can also be a very risky and dangerous sport so is always advisable to be under the direction of a well recognised and prepared coach like UHPC. We are glad to be part of the British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association (BHPA), the controlling body gliding and paragliding in the United Kingdom, which gives a complete structured training programme in different schools for those that wish to learn how to fly. This programme enables its students progressively from a basic level to an advanced and competition level through a graded system of pilot certification. BHPA certificates are recognised worldwide and are a proof of your ability to fly which gives you the rights to fly anywhere you want within the UK or abroad. The club organises during the year a few flying competitions and social events such and an annual Christmas dinner though it is held in February or March!!  You can also join UHPC if you like but you must be a member of BHPA for the third party insurance cover if you want to fly.  (Hang Gliding Experience Belfast)
