Trial Lessons are a great
way to try out gliding, did you know that gliders can fly as high as airliners,
fly hundreds of miles across country, are aerobatic, and can soar for hours in
the right conditions? - we are now taking bookings for trial lessons.

Some of the best soaring days in the UK are in a NE to NW
breeze - what's the weather doing today - any airspace restrictions on your
route - check the Weather
