Overview

Totally unique experience offered with this trip.
Take off and climb away using our 80hp Rotax engine and upon reaching 1 mile above sea level we will slowly reduce power and allow the engine to gently cool down. After about a minute of cooling we will stop the engine completely and become a proper glider with a glide ratio of 24 to 1. This should give us 15-20 minutes of silent engineless flight or more if we can find some thermals and go soaring with the birds.

All good from the cafe staff and facilities. Above all the gliding experience itself with Ian and controlling the glider myself. Highly recommended. They need to improve their booking system. When receiving booking from different platforms. We went there in the morning only to be told our booking was at 4.30pm. We were not informed in the morning so had to go back (2 trips for one event)
