Winch Launch Gliding Experience

Our Ref: 8

Price: £59.00

The lucky gift recipient will be introduced to the wonderful world of glider flights during this flying lesson, where they will take to the sky from one of the top glider clubs in the country. The serenity achieved from powerless flight is extraordinary and the scenery truly amazing.

The glider flight lesson starts with a pre-flight briefing before being safely strapped into the glider with an experienced instructor. Next the glider is attached to a winch by a cable where it is launched into the air. Once airborne, the cable is released and the glider plane searches out thermals. Then it's time to sit back and enjoy the magical glide back down to earth. An amazing gift experience which will leave many heads high in the clouds!
