This was a birthday present from my offspring. The weather on the day was uncertain, with patchy clouds and it was quite windy. It even started to rain before we were due to go. Tom ( the trainer ) said if we waited a few minutes it would clear - and it did. Tom let me fly down to our village which was only 10min flying time away and I circled round it a couple of times. I then took us off to another town and we circled round that. In all it was a great experience and I was allowed to do a major part of the flying. Take off and landing was down to Tom and from time to time he took control to make minor adjustments while I was in control. We felt safe at all times. The weather turned out to be great and my wife and I really enjoyed our flight. I would definitely recommend the experience.
