Beyond Extreme

• School

Beyond Extreme operates in the Scottish Highlands within reach of Inverness and Aviemore. It lists its contact address at Highland Bear Lodge in Drumnadrochit. Mark Dann runs the school, whose website describes year-round operation subject to weather. Beginner training is outlined as approximately eight teaching days towards Club Pilot. Students can pay by the day or choose the full course; days need not be consecutive and can be spread over twelve months. The offer lists BHPA membership separately from the course.

Day sessions also cover returning after a break, preparation for a flying holiday, local guiding and ground handling. The same page separately offers paramotor training, which requires the participant’s own equipment.

The team page names Scottish sites Point Break, Roadhouse and Red Dawn, which it says Mark helped establish with the Forestry Commission and landowners. For accommodation, the school points to Highland Bear Lodge B&B, owned by its chief instructor, with its own website and booking process.
