About Me
- Dean
- Dean Crosby, without doubt one of the most experienced instructors in the UK. He's taught at every level from Day 1 beginner to British Team squad member. He is in his 30th year of free flight, during this time he's captained both the British Hang Gliding and British Paragliding Teams. He's also been British Paragliding Champion and British Cross Country Champion 1993. Even today when many instructors rarely fly, Dean is still fanatical about cross country flying, more recently in 2006 he was crowned British Paragliding Cross Country Champion for the second time. He's served on the prestigious BHPA Flying and Safety committee and competed at national level in all three soaring disciplines.
Great day out -really enjoyed it-can't wait for the next flying day -Dean guided me competently through my first proper flights and Dave was impressed with his new Nova ion. the view from the top was surreal as the mist rolled in and out of the valley below, Dean and Dave with their good weather sense explained what was happening, so even while we waited for the conditions to be right I learned a lot about evaluating the conditions -just hope I can remember it all an old friend of Dean's -called Pete turned up and helped out and again gave us the benefit of his experience. A pity Sunday was a no go but that's how it goes
