Fantastic day experiencing gliding. Helpful and very friendly instructor and grounds staff. I had 3 flights in total with both types of launch. Was instructed how to turn and control the glider as well as taking control for a few moments. Very e coving day.

Everyone at the club both members and instructors alike are very friendly and very helpful. They cater for all abilities and the training course is not to strenuous but extremely effective. Would definitely recommend the club to anyone whether it be for a fun day out or to complete the solo glider pilot training.
