I thoroughly enjoyed my glider experience at the Dartmoor Gliding Club. All the staff and members were extremely knowledgeable and made you feel very welcome. The experience itself was exhilarating and exactly what Id hoped for. Well done to all at Dartmoor Gliding Club. Id happily go back. Their organisation in advance of the day was also first class.

James Inchley
Thoroughly enjoyed my glider flight, although i was disapointed that i didnt get a tempory mmbership to the club to enable me to have further flights as i was lead to believe. Would like to have done more flightsas the weather wasnt that good on the day as my 2 winches only lasted a total of 9 minutes.
