Fiona Tryhorn
The Boss :)
Qualified in 2011, Fiona has had a five year break in flying and is no longer out on trips as she is kept busy looking after our lively five year old daughter. Her organisation skills however are still second to none and if you need a speedy response it is likely to be her who contacts you first. If you venture on a trip to Algodonales she will look forward to meeting you in person and hopes to be back in the air soon.
Akis Altis
Senior XC Guide & Tandem Pilot
Akis is a very talented XC pilot from Greece. He has a wealth of flying experience and is also a skilled tandem pilot. Fluent in 5 languages he gets on with everyone and is particularly handy at translating menus in far flung locations. Recently he has spent a lot of time living and flying around Colombia and most of South America, so you will find him acting as the fixer on many of our long haul tours.
Bea Garcia
XC Guide & Tandem Pilot
Bea is an internationally recognised ACRO pilot born in Madrid. She has been paragliding since 1994 and won her first competition just a year later. Since then paragliding has become her way of life and she loves and excels in every area of the sport. She has been an instructor, a paramotor aerobatic pilot and in the last 6 years she has focused on ACRO and is often found at international festivals and fairs. Paragliding has taken her to the most amazing corners of the planet and she is an inspiration to other pilots wanting to follow their dreams.
Richard Dolan
XC Guide & SIV Launch Marshall
Rich started paramotoring in 2016 and since then he has been hooked on flying. After taking his first SIV in 2018 he found acrobatic paragliding and this fuelled his love for the sport even more. Flying has taken him all over the world to places such as Kuwait, Egypt, Colombia and most recently Australia, where he travelled unsupported across the entire width via paramotor. Rich has spent some time as a trainee instructor in both paragliding and paramotoring and is pursuing further qualifications. He has a wide range of experience to tap into and offers a calming presence on launch and in the air.
