In reply to chris687:
Are you uk-based or alps-based?
If uk, the speedwing flyers would be the people to talk to, as you can get in some useful airtime in somewhat more windy conditions on coastal sites and the like. Look at the clubs available on the BHPA website and ask their club contact if there’s an active group etc.
If alps-based, there will be loads going on along the same lines, as long as you can get by in the local language.
It’s not my thing so sorry I can’t be more helpful!
