Fly a glider at North Wales Gliding Club

What could be better on a gorgeous, sunny day than flying silently along, using the natural energy of the sun and air to glide as smoothly and as freely as any bird?

Experience the sheer delight of gliding along silently, choosing where you want to go. Experience the thrill of complete and utter freedom - something which is getting harder to find elsewhere.

At North Wales Gliding Club (NWGC) we have a small, friendly club of people who love to to fly over the beautiful Welsh countryside. We offer full training to anyone wanting to learn to fly a glider.

Is gliding hard?


In a word - no.

Like any sport gliding does take some effort to learn, but the lessons are not much different from learning to drive. Anyone can learn to fly a glider and our members range in age from teenagers to pensioners and everything in between.

Do I need my own glider?


No you do not. Our fantastic trial membership packages allow you to try out gliding for one month for as little as £70. It is time to get out of that chair and give yourself the ultimate freedom of silent flight.
