Visitor Reviews

"What a fantastic experience. We were blessed with excellent weather and were made to feel extremely welcome by the club members. There were 8 people in our party and we all thoroughly enjoyed our day. Many thanks to the members who gave their time and patience. We would reccommend the experience and club to others.

"Today I had 2 great flights with wonderful views and caught some thermals above Eggborough. Both pilots talked me through the controls and all that was happening during takeoff/flight/landing, they let me take control for a bit. Clearly they enjoy what they do and are enthusiastic to give others the opportunity to enjoy gliding.

Everyone was friendly and interested in talking to newcomers and sharing a few stories. The club organised it really well considering it was a very busy day for them."

"This was my first flight in a glider and it was an unbelievable feeling, I cant wait to go back and have another go. It was surprisingly easy to fly, very sensitive and responsive controls. I went up in a two seater with an excellent instructor doing the flying. I was sat in the front and we were towed to 2000ft by plane i got to take the controls for a while. Well worth the trip out to burn gliding club and excellent experience worth every penny."

"I would like to thank everyone who made me feel welcome at Burn Gliding Club.

I had a wonderful time there also Stephen, my instructor from Sunderland, who taught me how to use the controls of the glider.

The wonderful photograph you sent to me taken by Chris has taken pride and place in our living room.

Once again, many thanks."

"If you want a friendly face, a good laugh, and excellent flying then Burn Gliding Club is for you.

May I take this opportunity to thank all the members on duty that weekend (May 28th) for making it a very special and memorable day not only for the birthday girl but her family and friends who accompanied her.

While Beryl makes a mean cup of tea the Gold Star award has to go to instructor Terry, [you did a great job Bigman, many thanks]."

"Hello,

I didn't fly at Burn, but I'd like to thank the club members that provided me informations and directions about WW2 memorials at Burn and at Balkholme.

The Balkholme memorial for the two Halifaxes that collided in flight was very interesting.

Thanks again from the Frenchman who visited your club."

"Great experience, we felt very welcome.
Chatted with all most of the members on the day, friendly banter. We'll try and come again - hopefully soon. Thank you all.
And to top it all the weather was great as well!"
