About the experience

Soar like a bird in an aerotow glider on this Gliding Experience that will take you 3000ft up in the air! This experience is exclusively hosted at Sandhill Farm Airfield, which is located on the border where Wiltshire meets Oxfordshire. This airfield boasts a lively and friendly gliding club of around 40 regular members, which operates under the official guidelines and fleet maintenance set out by the British Gliding Association. You'll be flying in one of two Schleicher ASK13 tandem trainer gliders, housed in the small on-site hangar along with the Piper Pawnee tug which will be towing you into the air. A fully qualified gliding instructor will be conducting your lesson as you learn and master the basic gliding skills and manoeuvring the glider up in the air. The club members will also be able to let you know more about things like signalling and logging when you're down on the ground.

I thoroughly enjoyed my gliding experience and I had great weather which was an added bonus. The people at The Vale of the Whitehorse Gliding Club were extremely friendly and informative. My gliding lesson was fanastic and my instructer provided me with the opportunity to take the controls which amazing. Many thanks to all at the club for hosting a wonderful afternoon. I hope to return sometime in the future.

It was a fabulous experience , all the staff , pilot, ground staff etc were very friendly. Took my two little grandchildren ,age 5 7 . Their day was made when the pilot of the aircraft towing the glider allowed them to sit in the seat when it was stationary , a memory theyll remember forever ,like me ,and my memory of the day .Thank you

A really fabulous gliding experience provided by a knowledgeable passionate team who made me feel welcome safe from start to finish. Everything was well organised geared to the individual. No big crowds, no upselling, just excellent personal attention. My instructor Milan was patient informative obviously loves every minute in the sky The running of the club clearly involves a huge team effort provided by committed volunteers, young old. Would highly recommend.

Paul Crannaford

This fantastic experience was made even better by the professional and understanding instructor Al and his team. Keep up the great work, and a big thank you for making this an experience we will always remember.

Kim Hutchins

The weather was very warm but I did have too wait over an hour pass my slot. The foam you sit on in the glider parachute looked quite old.

Sian

Wow what a fantastic experience, would highly recommend. Had to rebook a few times but obviously its a weather dependent experience. I would definitely do this again. My pilot Milan explained the process and asked if I wanted to fly myself.

Romina
