Overview

Head to the clouds and enjoy the pure tranquillity of an aerotow gliding flight. On arrival, a qualified instructor will talk through safety, the aircraft and the flight ahead. Next it's time to board a dual-controlled glider ready for take-off. Get towed to heights of around 2,000 ft and enjoy the picturesque scenery, before the rope is dropped and the glider soars tranquilly in the thermal currents. During the flight, the pilot will hand over the controls so sample the joy that goes with flying an aircraft.

In a Nutshell
  • Be towed into the sky by a light aircraft
  • Ride thermal currents at around 2,000 ft
  • Expert guidance from an experienced pilot
  • Take control of the aircraft (at the discretion of the pilot)
