This is Petition is to gain support for keeping Paraglidng in the North Side of the Preseli Mountains, Pembrokeshire. This is a site Paraglider Pilots have flown for over 15 years , and unfortunately a small group of Farmers are trying to stop us flying there, as they say we make the sheeep move. Firstly we believe that we do not make the sheep move much at all, and that Dog Walkers, Joggers, horseriders and walkers cause substantially more sheep movement allready, every day of the year, and that it is deeply unfair to stop our activity that enables both locals and visitors to see the mountain, and Pembrokeshire from a truly unique perspective, and is good for tourism and good for the county of Pembrokeshire. Please sign this online petition to help keep Paragliding as a sport all can enjoy on the North side of the Preseli Mountains. Thankyou for taking the time to sign this petition.
Keep them flying , much to old to do it myself , but do like to watch them while walking .

Poor show Pembrokeshire Parks and land owners, you know the science and ecology that make the area what it is. Grazing sheep and animals are part of that management plan, paragliders do not graze and trample, especially in boggy areas where some of the more sensitive areas of SSSI. Come on and get on board with other land owners and managers who understand, co-operate and work with Paragliding Schools and clubs. The Paragliding community respect and work with and not against land owners and their management plans / farming practice. There are sites we don’t access during lambing season.

Paragliding is a wonderful peaceful sport. For a small area to take off . We use less groundspace than most sports. Paraglider Pilots. Are very conscious of nature and the surroundings. Not wanting to disturb, frighten, scare or endanger animals at all.
We are no different to walkers. Who enjoy the countryside.

Preseli can be enjoyed from above with responsible activity leaders. Horses are allowed to churn up the ground & leave deposits wherever they go. People let their dogs deposit & dont clean it up. People leave rubbish & light fires. Surely these guys do no harm, soaring across the sky enjoying the wonderful views.

I consider the existing ban on paragliding to be an anti-social abuse of power, detrimental to locals and tourists alike, and having no basis in genuine hardship experienced by the small group of farmers / horseriders. Frankly, it underscores the view of mot people in the county that there is an elite, introspective, group of snobs behind it, spoiling the pleasure of many just because they can.

This is a fully eco freindly sport which will bring income to the county, it is ridiculous to ban. Noisy Drones are alllowed pretty much everywhere up there and apparently that’s ok, why??

Paragliding does no harm to the landscape, causes no pollution, is silent and doesn’t harm animals.It would also be economically beneficial to the area.

No issue with paragliding, providing the individuals are experienced and take care not to cause any distress to animals in situ.
