🌤️ From Thermals to Triumph: A 500km Sky Adventure! 🛩️✨
Ever dreamed of soaring across the country using nothing but the power of the atmosphere? That’s exactly what one of our pilots did—taking off from Gransden Lodge and flying a stunning route through Blakeney, Milton Keynes, and Halesworth before returning safely to Gransden.
Here’s a glimpse of what it’s like to be up there:
☁️ Cruising between 2,000–6,000 ft, riding invisible rivers of lift
✈️ Getting full use of Marham’s airspace (thanks, ATC!)
💨 Feeling the paradox: headwinds making things easier than tailwinds on this flight
😅 Nearly landing early—until a friendly ASK21 school glider marked a last-minute save
🌊 Catching a dramatic sea breeze front near Halesworth, climbing alongside a wall of cloud
Whether it’s the thrill of the chase or the peace of quiet skies, gliding has it all. And the best part? You can learn to do this too.
👉 Join us at Cambridge Gliding Centre and start your adventure in the skies. No experience needed—just curiosity and a love for wide open views.
