Absolutely amazing experience and everyone was so helpful and welcoming
Wonderful experience on my first glider flight.Very helpful and knowledgeable pilot who took time to explain everything we were underftakng.
Excellent experience with very welcoming, helpful and organised members of the gliding club. It was well over 40 years ago that I first had a flight and would recommend to anyone.
Was brilliant. Great staff at the airfield and very organised. Would definitely go again
30 years since I last did this and the memories came flooding back However I am a pensioner now and 50 or so a time is too much to become a regular. This is a very friendly club if you can afford it.
very easy to book also had to change date this also was very easy, enjoyed the gliding experience very much, all people very helpful and friendly at Crowland Airfield.
An unforgettable firsttime experience, as a gift from my wife. Staff were great, so friendly and informal whilst highly professional. Flying the glider oneself with the instructor very much in command on the dual controls was thrilling, heartinmouth at moments e.g. when banking sharply but all perfectly safe. My only reason for not awarding the fifth star was that I wish it had lasted longer Definitely intend to go back next spring, hopefully on a day when there are thermals to take us up higher.
Booked the mile high flight after my girlfriend gave me an experience voucher as a present I was a little nervous and wasnt expecting to be fitted into a parachute, however I neednt have worried, it was a fantastic flight and I got to fly after the tow was released and once the excellent instructor Phil had shown me how to turn etc. Its a dual control glider so no worries, book and enjoy.. the only thing stopping you would be bad weather eg low clouds or high winds affecting the tow aircraft landing safely. Enjoy, life is short and this is definitely one to try.
My husband and I had gliding experience. It was a fantastic experience and the staff were brilliant really looked after us. Recommend it to anyone that never done it before.
Excellent flight. Staff were so accommodating and friendly. Definitely going to go back.
My partner had a wonderful experience, he felt in safe hands with competent instructors.
Great experience. Cloud limited the height we were able to fly, but had about 25 minutes airborne with plenty of time at the controls. Well looked after by Nick who gave an excellent pre flight brief and his relaxed attitude made for a pleasant flight.
Slightly nervous about the experience it was a Christmas gift from my son 18 months ago , I did question his motives but ended up. Thoroughly enjoying it. My glider pilot explained all the safety matters and once in the air allowed control and explained the controls and various movements in a clear manner .amazing views and I loved coming into land .I look forward to my next 2 flights with eager anticipation.
A great experience, and one I plan to build on. I would highly recommend this to anyone
Very good experience. I spent 44 mins in the air, with a very experienced and helpful pilot.
This is ran by volunteers so they are passionate about gliding and are friendly. I was in the air for about 25 minutes and got to take over the controls. Short term membership was also included so you can go again for a discounted rate. I would highly recommend this experience as you do not have to wait long, there is a club house and gliding is an amazing experience.
Surprise Xmas gift for gliding experience. Used local airfield Crowland. Exceptionally welcoming team. Easy access. Great instructor Mike and fantastic experience. Will definitely be back to fly again
Lovely flight in a glider. the weather was perfect and the pilot was so kind. Love to do it again
Awesome experience. Friendly helpful people. Most impressed
Hi there I have just completed my first of 3 flights at Peterborough gliding club a fantastic group of members would highly recommend the experience , a bit stomach churning to start with but after a couple of mins in the air you get use to it , cant wait until the next two flights .
An unbelievable experience, sitting in the front of the glider, soaring like a bird. My chosen flight was about 4pm and we were not expecting many thermals, but we found one and up we went, brilliant fun.
Great experience, I loved itIt was a 50th birthday present from the kids and one Ill never forget

A really excellent experience. The members at the Peterborough Gliding Club are very friendly and welcoming. My instructor, Phil, explained the various aspects of gliding and I had ample time for hands on control of the glider.
