You've never tried gliding before ?
Then Camphill
is just the place for you to experience the
magic of glider flight - to actually soar like a
bird over the Derbyshire countryside.
- You would be taken by a British
Gliding Association qualified instructor for
a glider flight in a two seat glider. Before the flight we'll tell you a
bit about gliders and gliding. Usually we can let you can feel what it
is like to use the controls, (that's if you'd like to try), to fly in level flight
and turn.
- We cannot guarantee how
long your flight will last - that depends on the weather
conditions - it could be up to 15 minutes. We give you
long enough to get a real taste of what gliding is like.
- You'll become a temporary member of
the club for 3 months.
During this time you can fly twice more - paying lower
charges as a club member.
- If you decide on the day of the
trial flight that you
want to join the club as a flying member, you get a big discount.
- And you will get a
certificate to prove you had a glider flight at Camphill.

Booking
- During the summer you should be able to
book your trial flight for a weekday (Mon-Fri) by calling the office a
day or two in advance. We also take bookings for some Saturdays. Click
on
Phone Numbers under Contact Us on the left of the
screen.
- If you haven't booked, come early
in the day to the club house or office. Ask to get to the "launch
point", if we are already flying. Get your name on the list to get
your turn. Without booking we cannot specify a particular time, but
there is plenty to see while you are waiting. Members will happily
answer questions -including when you are likely to get your flight.
- For the cost of trial flights click
on Flying
under Fees & Charges at the left of the screen.
We accept cash, credit/debit card or cheque with card.
- We are sorry that the limitations
of gliders mean that we cannot fly anyone who is exceptionally tall or
heavy. Maximum height is 6ft 3in (1.9m) and maximum weight is 16
stones (102Kg)
