Whilst it may appear to be a sport largely consisting of dangling from a pair of wings with nothing to power your flight but the fear of hitting the ground, gliding actually has a long and noble tradition dating back, some say, as far as 875 CE.

So you can be reassured that over eleven hundred years of tweaking and refinement means that taking to the skies is no longer an activity to be enjoyed by those with a reckless disregard for their own health. You will receive a thorough safety briefing before being strapped in with an instructor and towed into the sky on the back of a plane. Then you will be released and your experienced instructor will show you how to seek out those thermals for a totally radical high!
