Description

Gliding is perhaps the most elegant way that humans can get airborne. It's a breathtaking way to fly, soaring on the same rising currents of air that the birds use, with no roaring engine to spoil the peace. You'll start with a briefing session so that you'll know what to expect, before climbing aboard your dual-controlled glider with your expert instructor. Then the glider is towed into the air by a light aircraft (okay, this bit is noisy, but you have to get airborne somehow). Once you're at a height of around 2,000ft the rope is released, the aircraft peels away and you're free to soar and circle lazily in the thermal currents. You might be joined in the thermal by a bird - you can never do it as well as they can, but it's great fun trying! You'll enjoy breathtaking views of the countryside below you and the sky around you. And - at the pilot's discretion - you might be able to take the controls and trying controlling the glider yourself. Unforgettable.
