You can purchase an Introductory Course for yourself, or as a great 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.
