Product Information
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. This experience is a perfect introduction to gliding, giving you the chance to really get to grips with it. You'll start with a briefing session 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 the right height the rope is released, the aircraft peels away and you're free to soar and circle lazily in the thermal currents. You'll enjoy breathtaking views of the countryside below you and the sky around you. You'll be able to take the controls and pilot the glider yourself. The course includes three aerotow flights, on-ground tuition and one month membership. It might just be the start of a love affair with gliding!

Product Information
Mother nature may not have given us wings, but science has given us hang gliders instead. This experience lets you fly like a bird. After a full briefing, your BHPA-qualified instructor will introduce you to the tandem glider: a rigid-winged ATOS VX, specifically designed for tandem flight and one of the best gliders in the world. You'll be shown how to get into to the harness and once secured, you and your instructor will be towed into the air behind a microlight tug. Once you're at a height of around 2,000ft the rope is released, the microlight pulls away and you're free to soar and circle lazily in the thermal currents above the beautiful Essex countryside, with incredible views of the earth and the sky. It really will take your breath away. One-day membership of the BHPA (British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association) is also included.

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.
