Description

Fly Like a Bird over the stunning scenery of the North Devon coastline. After a full briefing and an informative talk about the sport, your instructor introduces the glider (a Wills Wing Falcon 3 Tandem), specifically designed for tandem flight. Once secured in the harness together, take a traditional hill launch to go skyward and reach up to height’s between 600 and 1200 feet above the ground, where you keep the company of birds and are free to soar and circle lazily in the thermal currents above land and sea below, with incredible views in peaceful surroundings. Enjoy the thrill of landing followed by a full debrief. Two weeks on, receive a 5” x 7” photo, a DVD of the flight and interactive GPS track log of your flying time, overlaid on Google Earth.
