 WELCOME
TO PATHFINDER PARACHUTE GROUP IRELAND.
Pathfinder
Ireland is a branch of the Pathfinder
Parachute Group. Our aim is to promote military style round canopy parachuting
for Irish people.
The main purpose of Pathfinder is to commemorate military parachute drops
and honour veterans. To do this we jump onto historical dropzones such as
those at Arnhem in Holland and dropzones used on D-Day in France. We are
officialy invited to partake in these events.
Pathfinder Ireland is a non-political organisation. We are dedicated to
promoting friendship between nations worldwide through the medium of round
canopy parachuting for recreation.
Pathfinder Parachute Group is an international organisation. We are established
in twenty countries worldwide including Holland, U.K., Denmark, U.S.A.,
China, Canada, France, Estonia, South Africa, Belgium, South Korea, Germany,
Czech Republic, Chile and Australia. A true reflection of the Airborne Brotherhood!
Many of our members are world record holders and our jumpers also have expertise
in various disciplines of parachuting from HAHO / HALO Jumping to Base Jumping.
One of our members is also a part of the famous 'Pieces of Eight' skydiving
team. However you will find no 'Skygods' within our ranks...just people
who jump Rounds for the fun of it!
Information and dates for 2008 Courses are now Available. Click
