You can
purchase a Basic Training Course for yourself, or as an amazing gift or
present. There are a few restrictions which are at the bottom of this
page.
Lessons are bookable, which
enables us to make sure that we have the gliders, tugs and instructors
available. Gliding is constrained by the weather though, so there may
be occasions when you'll have to wait a little while to fly. We fly
seven days a week (weather permitting) and, from Spring through to
Autumn, we operate on weekday evenings as well.
After buying the course
online, we will send you details about how to arrange for the flying, how to
find us and we'll provide some additional information about gliding in
general.
