TRIAL LESSON

You can purchase a Trial Lesson for yourself, or as a 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 your lesson online, we will send you details about how to arrange for the flight, how to find us and we'll provide some additional information about gliding in general.


Trial Lessons 

Bookable trial lesson flight to 2000ft including temporary membership for day of flight.

This is a fantastic way to experience the joy of soaring over the local countryside.  After purchase, our office team can be contacted to arrange the best date and time for you to fly with us.  It also makes a wonderful gift.

 A fantastic taster to the sport of gliding for £87, but to add to the pleasure why not add a second flight (on the same day) for an extra £49 (making £136 in tolal)

- single flight £87

OR

- two flights for £136


Non-bookable standby trial lesson flight to 2000ft available on weekdays only (not Bank Holidays) including temporary membership for day of flight. 

Aimed primarily for people who can fly during the week with more flexibility about exactly when they can fly.  Ideal for those who'd like to try soaring at first-hand.

A more flexible opportunity at only £70 but to add to the pleasure why not add a second flight (on the same day) for an extra £49 (making £119 in tolal)

- single flight £70

OR

 - two flights on same day for £119


Important booking notes:

Please include the name of the person for whom the voucher is intended.

RESTRICTIONS

AGE: Normal minimum age is 14.  There is no upper age limit but please be aware that the participant will need sufficient dexterity to climb into and out of a glider.

SIZE:  Due to the configuration of the gliders and controls, minimum height is 5'', maximum 6'4''.  Minimum weight is 7 stone, maximum 16 stone.

HEALTH:  It will not be possible for you to fly if you suffer from epilepsy, fainting or certain physical or mental disabilities.
