Customer Reviews

Pete Greeves, Sanderstead

My son has been going gliding for several years and persuaded me to have a go as well, he booked me onto this full day Gliding course which happened to be very near to where we live. My instructor was a brilliant guy, put me at ease and made sure I knew exactly what I was doing when I learnt how to turn and manoeuvre. The winch launches are amazing, I really couldn't believe how the glider uses the air to stay aloft. Was amazing seeing our local area from the sky, and going up 8 times was fantastic! Thanks for a wonderful day.

Gordon Lawton,

I'd never been up in a glider before but after a day of flying in one I was hooked! Soaring on the currents was an experience unlike anything I've ever had in an aeroplane or other aicraft, you're totally under the control of nature! It is something I'd love to do again some day.
