Let us introduce you to this absorbing sport at some of the top clubs in the country.

It's a fantastic chance to experience the excitement of powerless flight and to take in the wonderful scenery unfolding below you.

After a pre-flight briefing, you will be strapped into the glider with your instructor.

The glider is attached to a winch by a cable, and in a few moments you will be airborne! Once the cable is released you will search out some thermals and then glide gently back down to earth.
