I am heading to England this afternoon for work. I'll be staying in Maidenhead for about a week. If I have any free time, it would be awesome to get in the air. Can anyone recommend a place I could get some glider time in that would be relatively nearby?


Be sure to make arrangements ahead of time. Just showing up at the field may lead to some disappointment. I had a wonderful experience at Booker a number of years ago, but had arranged contacts, etc. in advance. I also dropped by Lasham without any prior contact & was able to see their large operation, but not able to fly. Not their fault, I just hadn't made any arrangements & they weren't set up to accommodate drop-ins. Good luck and have fun.
