Default UK Gliding schools

Can I add that Lasham does pretty good 5 day (Mon -
Fri) holiday courses and 2 day weekend courses. Normally
the student to instructor ratio is at most 3:1. These
are generally aimed at ab-initios, but can also cope
with slightly more experienced pilots.

Lasham offers a good choice. It offers a a full summer
of ab- initio courses plus solo to bronze, bronze to
silver, cross country and competition prep courses.
Instructors include ex world champions and british
team coaches. They also offer you the opportunity to
hire a glider and instructor by the day to do whatever
you want. This might be circuit bashing in a K13, aerobatics
in a DG1000 or cross country in a Duo Discus.

Since they have 13 x 2 seaters, two winches and 5 tugs
you should never be short of flying.

Accomodation is available on site in a clean bunk room
or a selection of pubs and hotels in close proximity.

See www.lasham.org.uk for further details or give
them a ring and speak to Gordon the CFI
