What did you do with your summer? Gliding content within...

[Big News]

So, all of you with a bit of love for aviation...have you ever considered giving gliding a go?

It's probably the cheapest and most enjoyable way of getting into flying, where you can keep yourself aloft for hours at a time, climb to airliner altitude, or enter competitions to race around tasks of hundreds of kilometres with another fifty gliders.

Check out this video review of our UK Junior (under 26s!) Gliding 2013 season, put together by some friends of mine (and some of the best pilots in the country), and tell me you don't want to have a go...

UK Junior Gliding 2013 Season Review

I implore you to get yourself along to your local gliding club (there are many!) and get yourself airborne on a trial lesson. You'll be hooked.

Watched it last week. I think the editors have struck a good balance of stuff that "you had to be there for" (WEllis ambling past the tower at Bicester) and showing that the social ethos and spirit involved extends beyond running wings, log keeping and other less glamorous elements of the sport.

Crap summer, good video :-).

Learned to fly gliders in the Air Cadets. Had my first (and only) solo aged 17 I believe. Intended to carry on when I went to University but never did.

I'd like to get back into it one day, probably when I'm older and less inclined to do physical/sport pastimes.
