Let us introduce you to the absorbing sport of gliding. It's a fantastic chance to experience the excitement of powerless flight and to take in the wonderful scenery unfolding below you.
After a pre-flight briefing, you will be strapped into the glider with your instructor. The glider is attached to a winch by a cable, and within a few moments you will be airborne! Once the cable is released you will search out some thermals and then gently glide back down to earth.
