WELCOME

Welcome to the Northern Califiornia Cross Country League. We hope that we find all the information that you need to join in the league.

The Cross Country league is an informal series of cross country competitions running from March through to October held at flying sites within driving distance of the Bay Area. The league is set to help pilots of all abilities in improving their flying skills by flying set courses with other pilots. These are essentially a fly in with a mission.

The league is open to hang-glider and paraglider pilots who are happy thermalling with other pilots and who are able to land safely not-necessarily in the designated landing zone.

There are sister leagues around the country all following the same idea:

Southern California Cross Country League

Oregon League

 

NEW FOR 2010:

LIVE TRACKING: Watch pilots from the comfort of your handheld device....

MENTORING: The 2010 league will feature a mentoring system where more experienced pilots will assist less experienced pilots in setting up their equipment and flying the course. More details on the mentoring page.
