WHY NOT “SUPERSIZE IT" ON THE DAY?
For an extra £20 you could have an extra 1,000 feet of height and increase your flight time. Normally on a trial flight we take an aerotow to 2,000 feet before gliding gently back to the airfield. By taking an aerotow to 3,000 feet it increases the flight time for little extra cost. The extra height will give you more of a taste for what gliding is about! The ability to go higher is dependant on the weather conditions on the day, so THIS OPTION IS AT THE DISCRETION OF THE INSTRUCTOR ON THE DAY, AND CAN ONLY BE PURCHASED AT THE AIRFIELD ON THE DAY YOU FLY. .
If you live near the airfield it may also give the opportunity of flying over your house !! So why not spoil yourself ? Weather permitting, you could get a better view of our spectacular Lakeland scenery even to Scotland, the Isle of Man and as far as Wales
Please remember we have a mobile telephone which is ONLY answered on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays WHEN we are flying. IF IT IS NOT ON WE ARE NOT FLYING. The number is 07860 135447. If the weather is not suitable you are likely to get an answer phone and we are NOT flying.
Andy Tebay is our key man for organising the sale of trial flights but anyone of the Club Officers on the Contact Us Page will be happy to help or explain what happens and how. When you click on the names on that page you get to see who you are talking to or emailing and obtain their telephone and email addresses. We value your custom.
