Default UK Gliding schools

Can anyone tell me where I can do an "intensive" gliding course in the UK?


Hi Trevor,

I would imagine that most slightly bigger clubs offer intensive courses
- thinking of clubs in the South East: have you tried Lasham? Parham,
Dunstable, Booker might also do courses.

I am pretty sure Shenington (Edgehill) near Banbury (Oxfordshire) offer
courses.

If you want lovely scenery while on your course, why not try something
like Sutton Bank, Nympsfield, the Long Mynd, and turn it into a week's
gliding holiday with accommodation in the bunk house?

If you browse through the club directory on www.gliding.co.uk you should
find quite a few clubs that can get you to solo in an intensive course.
The ones above are only a tiny selection I guess...

Hope this helps

Claudia

(I fly at Weston-on-the-Green, we can't offer courses as we only do
weekend and bank holiday flying and haven't got any paid staff.)
