Description of Lincolnshire Gliding Club
Licence Nº not providedGliding is a fun sport and the local views are outstanding The airfield is close to local campsites and hotels. Enjoy views of the Lincolnshire Wolds and the east coast.
Most people have probably never even thought about going up in a glider. Indeed, probably most people have never even seen one, except in the press or on T.V. The very suggestion of taking a flight in one produces a pitying look and an expression of doubt:
"Me? – Go up there?? – WITHOUT AN ENGINE??? – you must be mad!!!"
Lincolnshire Gliding Club has quite a few members who, for the most, are more or less perfectly normal, rational people who enjoy a sport which is challenging, exhilarating and satisfying. It must be admitted however, that in the winter months it can also be very cold and exasperating. But at the end of the day’s flying, even on the poorer days it is very sociable when we relax over a pint at one of the many local watering holes and discuss our experiences.
How was it for you?
When people arrive at the site for the first time, often having been bought a flight voucher for their birthday or whatever, they are often accompanied by their friends or relatives who has no intention of flying, and has only come along to see their faces; their banter getting the “victim” more and more nervous. It is a different story when the flight is over, - the intrepid birdman returns to his friends quite ecstatic and in many cases is able to persuade his friends to “Give it a go”. The ladies always seem to be the most impressed with their flight and go into raptures about it. It’s certainly something different to tell their friends about.
