What an experience, absolutely loved it! Thanks to Kelly for a wonderful flight. I will definitely be back.

What a lovely place to spend a Saturday afternoon! Coffee chips and great customer service from a friendly bunch of staff... and then my 13 year old son had the most amazing gliding experience with a really relaxed but professional pilot. It couldn't have been better, well done Yorkshire gliding club... only trouble is, he wants to do it again!!! 😬😆

Very hospitable. Meals and drinks available. Plenty of parking areas. Lovely place to start your walk around the area.

Took 6 of our scouts from Doncaster today, we all loved it, thank you so much to all the instructors who took us flying today, from all at 47th Edenthorpe, I'm sure we'll be back!

Thanks to the Yorkshire Gliding Club for looking after me yesterday on my first flight experience . I had an awesome day, my overall experience was fantastic and I would recommend anyone to go and have a try . My instructor put me completely at ease and was very informative about how to glide. All the staff were welcoming and I will be back in the future. Thanks regards Jo

My daughter and her Scout troop have just spent the weekend at the gliding club. She had her 1st glider flight with Jamie and loved it! She can't wait to do it again. Thanks for all your hard work.

My Dad and Sister did a glider experience flight this Saturday, we all had a lovely day and enjoyed getting to be part of the experience. They were on cloud 9 afterwards!

I love this place

Gonna retire here and spend my days soaring the ridge and wave. Absolutely fantastic staff especially

Andy Parish CFI

Josephine in the office

And a big thank you to Steve Thompson who devoted 3 hrs to teaching me how to fly the ridge.

See you soon guys.

Had a great day...with Graham who took me up for my first and second flights ever. Lovely friendly staff...thanks for the First Aid! See you again soon.

Great visit as our club was closed today. I flew their DG500 while my wife curled up with coffees and a good book in the clubhouse. Excellent day.

Great place friendly staff and lovely food just called in for lunch and to watch a few take offs

Great day, lovely cooked fresh food with good choice and lovely staff. Great walks and surrounding area

Friendly, experienced instructors take you into the skies to sample flight as it was meant to be experienced. Both safe and exhilarating - a rare combination. Try them today if you haven't already!

(Book in advance).

First flight ever, a present from my hubby who couldn't resist having me flung off a cliff !! Jonathon my pilot was great, v patient and friendly and pointed out lots of interesting places 3000 ft below. Great way to view the white horse of Kilburn. Plenty of parking, a lovely cafe on site and everyone was very welcoming. A great gift idea.

Fantastic experience yesterday having my first flight expertly guided by my instructor Will. What a very knowledgeable and competant young man. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Looking forward to my next visit already. Cheers everyone.

Did the week course and though lost 2 days to the weather had a great time.. friendly club excellent facilities and really good instructors Have to say special thanks to Chris my instructor .. cheers for a great week folks will be back again as soon as i can

Come to the cafe quite often. Great food, reasonably priced and lovely staff. Add a nice view......it's got to be a winner!

Awesome week good flying, with some very good wave for those who got in it. Food from the cafe was excellent. All round a good week even when visiting local attractions on none flying days. Ten out of ten :)

Amazing scenery and challenging flying; top notch facilities with great food. Friendly and enthusiastic team of volunteers doing everything from launching to instructing in a modern fleet of fibreglass gliders. ���
