Float with the birds as you set off on an amazing journey, from 3000 ft you will float back down to Earth, controlling the Glider if you wish! Amazing and relaxing experience with Experience Days.

Gliding Experience Days: Take to the skies for an unforgettable flying experience, as you fly back down from a height of 3000feet! With incredible views absolutely everywhere you look, you'll have no choice but to marvel at the ground below and ahead, as you and your instructor enjoy Gravity running its course and bringing you back down to Earth at a nice gentle pace - either as a chauffeur 'driven' experience or with a hands-on effect as you take the controls yourself for a memorable flight.

Your Extended Gliding Experience will begin with a welcome introduction, filling out the necessary paper-work and a safety brief with the instructor. Then, once briefed and ready to fly, you'll make your way to the launch point where the marshall will ensure you get to 3,000ft - ready to begin your fantastic descent back down to Earth! You'll enjoy a magnificent view of the surrounding area, lasting for around 20mins or so. It is up to you if you'd like to take the controls yourself, or sit back and let the instructor do it all as you marvel at the picturesque view.

John Thorogood - Crawley, West Sussex

Had a really enjoyable flight, the instructor was very friendly and knowledgeable, and let me fly the glider for most of the flight. I would highly recommend the experience and the location.

Ken Ansdell - Kettering

20/09/2020

The experience was enjoyable but fairly brief. Having to choose a date to fly in advance meant the actual flying conditions were poor, with no thermal lift around, so the flight was shorter than expected. The Reception staff and the Instructor were very friendly, and I was allowed to take the controls once off the aero tow . The glider was excellent, but overall the experience was not good value for the money paid.

Anthony - Cambridge

23/06/2020

Very friendly and a unique experience. I was well looked-after but slightly terrified by the experience of being in mid-air.

Ron German - St Ives, Cambridgeshire

31/01/2020

Very comprehensive pre-flight video but the flight itself was of course the main attraction. The instructor was so enthusiastic and encouraging. It seemed like he went out of his way to make it special and certainly the "hands on" element went much further than I was expecting in trying out all aspects of controlling the glider. Definitely the best experience to date!
