Fliers based in Britain are sometimes criticised for lack of reciprocity: it's said that we're keen enough to encourage overseas fliers to come to Interglide (which we certainly are!) but less keen to fly abroad ourselves. There may have been something in that but we're getting better, with a good number of people planning to fly continental European comps in 2025. Here is a report from Mike van Erp (Interglide publicity guru and rising F5J star) of his recent visit to Larissa, Greece, for the F5J Eurotour there. Mike achieved a splendid second place. His report really communicates the excitement, and the learning opportunity, of flying in another country. Well worth the effort - give it a go!
