About the experience
Soar high above Peterborough with this incredible 2000ft Gliding experience over the stunning Cambridgeshire countryside from Crowland Airfield! Feel the thrill of powerless flight as you gracefully glide through the skies, weightless and free. Located at St. Guthlac's Lodge near Crowland since the early 1980s, this centre offers a fantastic opportunity for like-minded individuals to experience the joy of soaring. Despite its small size, the centre is well organised, with a dedicated duty pilot, ground crew team, and tug team, all ready to make your flight memorable. You'll receive instruction in one of our modern two-seater trainer gliders, either the Puchacz or Twin Astir models. Chief Flying Instructor Ross Morris or one of our skilled team members will guide you through the aircraft preparation process before launching you up to 2000ft. From there, it's just you and your pilot, exploring the skies above Peterborough. Taking in the fields of Peterborough from above is truly breathtaking as you glide through the serene sky. Don't miss out on this fabulous opportunity – book your experience now and prepare for an unforgettable adventure!
