A full range of gliding options are on offer at our Lincolnshire venue, giving you the chance to choose the lesson that suits you.

There are gliding gift vouchers available for one winch tow, which gives you the most gentle introduction to gliding, with a shorter descent. Then there are options for one or two aerotows, with the clubs tug plane reaching between 1500 and 2000ft, before releasing you for your silent flight.

If you want to really get the hang of flying gliders, opt for the one day gliding course. This gives you three aerotows and lots of tuition from your pilot instructor, with the presentation of a pilot's log book and three month membership to the glider club so you can carry on taking lessons.

Gliding lesson vouchers are really flexible too, as the club operates seven days a week (subject to the great British weather of course!). The airfield is situated in the rolling Lincolnshire countryside to the west of the A1 between Grantham and Colsterworth - easily accessible from all over the East Midlands. For those of you looking for another type of flying experience we have flying lesson vouchers available on our main flying lessons page. 
Depending on the voucher chosen, your glider flight will last around 5-15 mins on a winch tow and between 15 and 30mins for the aerotows. Don't forget that if you spend longer in the air and you reach your maximum overall flight time, you may not get another launch.
Gliding take place any day of the week at this venue. Day gliding courses are subject to availability and run on a 3 student to 1 instructor ratio. Start times vary, allow spending a whole day on site.
Lincolnshire, just off the A1 south of Grantham.
Please ensure all those taking part in glider flight experiences have a minimum age of 12 years and minimum weight of 7 stone.  Maximum weight is 15 stone, maximum height is 6'2".  Please contact Into the Blue if you are close to these limits.
Spectators are welcome to watch the lesson from the clubhouse.
All instructors on glider flights are BGA approved.
After some rainy days we finally made it up on a cold January day for a fantastic gliding experience at the Grantham Airfield..and there were thermals! We both had a go and the birthday boy stayed up for nearly an hour with his tutor and I, as a passenger, broke the January record at over an hour!
