Loads of locals were doing tumbles and helicopters and all kinds of weird and wonderful things. Fantastic!

09 August 2008 - Cen and Byron do well. Blue day, lots of visitors. Byron does another 2hr40. Lovely day. Flying almost all of the day, but its summer now so we have to stop late afternoon as its gets a bit strong. But then its smoothes off and we have great evening flying. Lovely!

08 August 2008 - Another great day in Àger. Byron adds another 2hours to his flight log. Lots of locals and visitors but still the sky is feels massive and empty. Easy huge landings make this place a pleasure. Happy pilots!

04-07 August 2008 - Roadtrip with Byron to Organya, Castejon de Sos and Castillonroy. We flew big, we flew high but we realised that the best flying was here in Ager so we are back early. But what a trip. Played with the Top 20 in the world Acro pilots who were training for a comp in Italy. Visited Castejon de Sos with takeoff at 2300m. Saw loads of big birds, vultures and eagles but obvoiusly the best ones were of the pretty female ones. Brilliant!

A big “Hola”(Hello) from Spain and "gracias"(thank you) for looking at our website.

You can have access to four world-class flying sites in one trip:

“wegofly” is based in Àger, which was host to both the British Open in 2006 and the Paragliding World Cup in 2007. Not too far away is the infamous site of Castejon de Sos, which has hosted countless World cup and international paragliding competitions over the years. We also use Organya.

“wegofly” offers paragliding holidays in Àger Spain. There are cheap flights into Barcelona and Reus where we can collect you. The Àger valley has beautiful old Spanish towns that await you, with quiet uncrowded skies. We are situated at the foot of Montsec, in the Vall d'Àger. It's a protected area of countryside for tourism conservation, providing adventure sports and activities.

Àger is blessed with great flying weather between February to end of October. The locals welcome you and the pilots are friendly. Its just a fantastic place. There is a huge main take off and endless easy landing fields. We have famous evening restitution(magic Lift). We have loads of local vultures and eagles that do not mind you sharing a thermal with.

Individuals as well as groups are most welcome so email us at wegoflyinfo@googlemail.com  with your requirements. Because of our unique situation we can be at takeoff in 20 minutes via a great tarmac road to the main take off. Depending on the day’s conditions and your flying abilities, we will try to stay in the valley to minimise travel time and maximise flying time. With the emphasis on pilot safety and fun I am sure you will have a fantastic time. XC's are part of the deal with prior planning.

Your paragliding guide Winston has many years of flying experience in South Africa, the UK and Spain. We cater for all flying nationalities so don’t be shy! Come paraglide with us in Àger Spain.

There is plenty to see and do for the non flying partners or families via MONTSEC ACTIVA who have a passion for adventure in nature. We have two Lakes, with spectacular gorges, ideal for Water sports. There are routes for all levels of people with a passion for Trekking and mountainbiking. There are also great Quad bike excursions. We have caves and impressive walls for practicing rock climbing. Paintball and archery can be arranged in a target shooting area.

Happy flights!

The "wegofly" Team

Amanda and Winston.
