Bob Sturtivant

Great experience, very welcoming reception from all the team and thorough briefing and calm and controlled flight unfortunately on the day the flight was relatively short due to wind conditions but extremely enjoyable and would recommend it.

Fiona Lazarus

It was everything I expected. The crew where great and put you at easy from when you arrived until you left. Checking that you were ok with everything

Darren Bulley

Great setup. Friendly people. Allow plenty of time as it's very dependent on the weather. Highly recommended.

Peter

Excellent day with the gliding experience at Dartmoor, really enjoyed it. Would strongly recommend

Paul harte

Totally loved it, the team were great and very knowledgeable, will absolutely be back to learn somemore (it's like getting shot out of a cannon, but fun and safe)

Harry Martin

I thoroughly enjoyed my glider experience at the Dartmoor Gliding Club. All the staff and members were extremely knowledgeable and made you feel very welcome. The experience itself was exhilarating and exactly what I'd hoped for. Well done to all at Dartmoor Gliding Club. I'd happily go back. Their organisation in advance of the day was also first class.

Eleanor

It was a lovely gift and a great experience. Everyone was welcoming and informative and relaxed.

James Inchley

Thoroughly enjoyed my glider flight, although i was disapointed that i didn't get a tempory mmbership to the club to enable me to have further flights as i was lead to believe. Would like to have done more flightsas the weather wasn't that good on the day as my 2 winches only lasted a total of 9 minutes.

Christopher Brockway

An alround great experience.
