Gift vouchers are valid for one year which includes 28 days Club Membership from the date the flight is taken Once the voucher has been bought it is non refundable. There are also some height, weight and medical restrictions.
Please remember we have a mobile telephone which is ONLY answered on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays and 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.
WHY NOT “SUPERSIZE IT" ON THE DAY?
For an extra £15 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
