XC Anywhere in the World !

Escape network of guides have an immense knowledge of flying sites around the world. We are always on hand to recommend the best sites and the best season to fly in the country of your choice.

Before and during the course, the guides will send out group mails suggesting takeoff areas, flight plans and weather links, so that the group can collectively make flight plan decisions with the advice of the guide, to help maximise the group's potential and weather conditions.

The guides we recommend are long standing associates and friends of Jocky, selected from a global network of highly experienced international guides. Jocky can personally vouch for their flying skills and dedication to pilot service.

Where possible, we will provide you a guide with local expertise. In other cases, we will fly out a guide just for your trip. No matter where you choose to fly, the guide will have pre-trip discussions and XC route plans, to enable maximum familiarization with the area.

In case we don't contract a local guide for the country you are flying in, an additional cost will be applicable for the guide's airfare and travel. As a general guideline, anywhere in Europe, would be about 500 pounds for a week, and outside of Europe, it would be about 1000 pounds, divided by the group.

In order to provide best value for money, our base cost is £550 per pilot for a 7 day trip. This covers the fees for the guide and the retrieve service and is estimated for a minimum group size of 5 pilots.

Most courses are run with a 9-seat minibus, with a lead guide, driver/guide, and upto 7 available seats for our clients. If, as a group, you wish you to book 7 people, then the price per pilot would be reduced, but you must be aware and accept that the level of guidance will not be as intense.

If you want to go with a smaller group, or you want more intense and personalised coaching, this can be arranged too, at an additional reflective cost.

When you make a booking, in the left hand column, please key in your group size and then select your preferred guide ratio (1:7, 1:6, 1:5, 1:4, 1:3, 1:2 and 1:1) to see the costs/per pilot. While making a booking, please add the number of pilots in your group to the final quantity.

In case all this sounds complicated, just give us a call or drop us an email !

Standard trips do not include accommodation costs. Although we will be more than happy to recommend options, based on our experience of that local area, and we could also book it, on your behalf, passing on any costs to be divided by the group.

Usually, pilots make their own arrangements. This allows flexibility to the group and budget, allowing you to either rough it out in campsites and tents or go the posh way. You can also choose to go Vol Bivouac if the group is up for the adventure !

Wherever you stay, we will always have an agreed central briefing location for each flying day.

It is always best to travel as a group or at least arrive at similar times the night before the course to simplify transfers.

Usually, our driver and mini-bus will transfer pilots to and fro from the airport at the beginning and end of each trip.
