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  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.

 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

 An experience you'll remember for ever !

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 and Sundays. Click on Phone Numbers under Contact Us (menu bar at the top 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 -or even guarantee you will fly If our launchpoint is busy with members wanting to fly, they will always take priority over casual visitors, but there is plenty to see while you are waiting. Members will happily  answer questions -including if and when you are likely to get your flight.
