There are many great flying site around the Island of Lanzarote
including the famous Famara Ridge. There is also great flying to be had at Mala,
Mirador Del Rio, Macher and El Cochillo. The best time to fly there is from
October - March/April after which time it gets rather hot and windy.


We've been going there for the first week in February every year for the past
seven years and have hardly had any lost days due to bad weather. I'm just a bit
concerned that the airlines may no longer carry our hang gliders due to the new
airport security regulations. I always take a flex wing and leave my VR at home
as the setup areas consist of mainly jagged volcanic rock and would make light
work of expensive wings.


If you look up Easter Polder, Stirling, Scotland on Google Earth you will see a
nice clear shot of our Hang Gliding Club with some gliders parked outside the
hanger. It is a small club www.scottishairsports.co.uk but with a superb new, purpose built, hanger for
the microlights and hang gliders. It may not enjoy Florida type weather, but on
the perfect day the views are some of the best in the world.





As you can see Lanzarote is a pretty small island off the Africa coast and is
part of the Canary Islands, which are part of Spain, and not the place to set up
a WRE, but it is a really nice place to have some fun over the winter months -
and we get plenty of winter here in the UK. On a good day you can fly the full
length of Famara Ridge up to a restaurant built into the cliffs at Mirador Del
Rio. The beach you can see on my video clip is Mirador and you can also fly
across to the small island of Graciosa and get the, 'one ferry per day' back.
