An amazing bunch of people operating this. My father and 10 year old daughter gave it a go and loved it. Will definitely go back for another round.
I had a thoroughly enjoyable day at the Greytown Soaring Centre doing my instructional gliding experience and would strongly recommend this to anyone. It was simply fantastic. The team were amazing in every way and they all made it such a memorable experience. My instructor James was great and I will probably do it again sometime in the future. So much fun!!
