Title
Derbyshire & Lancashire Gliding Club
Description
Gliding is never boring. Soaring a glider is weather dependent and the weather is never the exactly the same. So glider pilots have to vary the use of their skills on every flight - to get the best from the conditions.
You will be pleasantly surprised how affordable gliding is. If you would like to fly, and power flying looks like it will make a hole in your pocket, then gliding is for you. It costs a fraction of power flying. Added to that, glider flying is quiet and "green".
If you like a real personal challenge, what better than learning to be in sole control of a glider. Nobody ever forgets the tremendous thrill and sense of achievement from their first solo flight. After that there are loads more challenges - to fly higher, further, longer. And there are gliding competitions - Britain boasts several world gliding champions.
