Gliding Lesson at Black Mountains Gliding Club. Take a flight in a dual controlled glider, with a qualified instructor. The glider will be towed up behind the tow-plane to a nearby hill or to 2000ft (dependent on conditions). You will fly within the Brecon Beacons National Park, and perhaps share a thermal with a buzzard or two. You may even see a red kite - several live nearby. The airfield is located in an idyllic setting, at the base of the Black Mountains, with panoramic views to the west. During the 20-30 minute flight you will be invited to take the controls. Your instructor will help you understand how the controls work and you will be able to fly the glider yourself. This is an excellent introduction to gliding.
