A really rather special place to take your glider flights, you'll delight in soaring over the hillsides from Llandegla in Wales, with instructors who are keen to show those on taster lessons just how the sun and air alone can power your flight.

The North Wales club (or Clwb Gleido Gogledd Cymru in Welsh) uses a winch (cable launch) to get you airborne and, depending on conditions, you will have one extended flight or up to three shorter flights during your lesson. Once you've settled in  to your flight, the pilot may very well hand you the controls so you will actually be steering the glider yourself, as you soar like a bird with the sun and air powering you over stunning vistas.

One of the best things about glider flights is that you become a member of the club for 28 days, allowing you to return another day and get discounted flights if you find you're really hooked on flying! Powered aircraft flights and taster lessons are available too from our main flying section.

There are also great facilities nearby, including a B&B and several fine pubs, so why not make a weekend of your glider flight experience and explore North Wales too.

If  Wales is too far to travel, Into the Blue offers gliding lessons at centres across the UK, so there's bound to be a suitable location for you.
Your gliding experience will last up to two hours in total. It includes a welcome and safety briefing, introduction to the aircraft and controls.  You will have one extended soaring flight or up to three shorter flights.
Glider flights operate on most weekends and bank holidays, weather permitting, all year round from 11.30am to dusk.
North Wales, near Llandegla, 11 miles west of Wrexham.
The maximum weight for taking a glider flight is 17 stone, minimum height 5’, maximum height is 6'2".  Any under 18’s must be accompanied on site by a parent who will need to sign a disclaimer.
Spectators are very welcome to watch and can stay all day to watch the flying activity. Facilities at the launch site are limited, however there are pubs offering food and drink nearby.
All glider flight instructors are British Gliding Association qualified.
We had a great time gliding in North Wales - the instructors said we both had big smiles on our faces when we came back down to earth! Thank you.
