30 Minute Microlighting Session - Somerset
About the experience
In Somerset, you'll take to the skies with microlight expert Andy Buchan. He has been flying for a lot longer than he'd like to admit and he loves light aviation. He is extremely qualified as a chief flight teacher, examiner, senior inspector, and check pilot for the BMAA (British Microlight Aircraft Association), so his excitement for microlighting in Somerset's skies is sure to catch on. There is no denying that microlights are the best means of transportation in Somerset because there is so much to see from the air. Experience Glastonbury and its well-known tor; Bridgewater Bay; the Bristol Channel; the Mendip Hills, and the Quantock Hills - depending on the route you choose.
