Description

Hop aboard a nippy, lightweight microlight for a thrilling aerial adventure above the Lancashire countryside. Begin with a briefing from a qualified instructor before boarding a dual-controlled flex-wing microlight for the flight. Based on the frame of a hang glider, this little craft is capable of surprising speed and manoeuvrability. The instructor may even hand over to allow you to take the chance to assume piloting duties in order to experience the microlight’s amazing capabilities first-hand.

Availability: Seven days a week all year round except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. Weather: Any cancellations due to weather will be re-booked for another date or time.
