Since man grew legs, he has always dreamt of gliding. Of leaving this earthly ground and soaring majestically. Now you can do this and more with this sensational glider experience.

Don’t you think that birds are always slightly smug? Yes, we have thumbs, but they have wings. Wings with which to fly, flap, swoop and hover in a particularly arrogant way. Especially woodpeckers.

Now you can show these feathery Gyles Brandreths a thing or two when you take to the skies in a glider. Nothing can compare to drifting silently through the firmament, with only the wind and a few thermals to keep you airborne. Witness the beauty of the English countryside without relying on a propeller.

After a full safety briefing on the basics of gliding and being in a glider, you’ll be towed by an aircraft 2000 feet in the air. You’re then released as you travel through the clouds in exquisite fashion. Meanwhile, the pilot of the towing aircraft will return to base, possibly have an instant coffee and maybe a bun before his next job.

But back to you in the air. In this dual controlled machine, your instructor will control your progress and make salient points. Then you’ll get the opportunity to have a go yourself, if you wish to. You can pilot ‘old glidey’ for a spell and experience the thrill that common robins and magpies encounter every day.

For a unique, exhilarating, beautiful airborne experience, take the plunge with this tremendous gliding experience.
