300 Club

This is a record of UK straight-line flights of 300km or more submitted to the paragliding XC league.

It is 4 years since the first 300km flight by paraglider in the UK by Richard Carter on 15/07/2018 (306.8km).

Flights are only added to the club once they have been validated. A flight is only deemed as valid if there are no airspace infringements and if declared the declaration is valid. Validation is a manual process and can take a while. You can see if a flight has been validated by looking at the 'Admin' tab against the flight in the league table. If your flight has been validated and is not listed under one of the 'Flights by' tabs below then please Contact Us.
