Learn to fly hang gliders

Why not learn to fly Hang Gliders - Learn to fly with the Peak District Hang Gliding Centre. We are the longest established hang gliding school in the UK.

Learn to fly and you will see that hang gliding is exhilarating and exciting but once professionally trained to fly a modern glider the risks are comparable to horse riding or skiing.

You will see that the gliders themselves are extremely strong - tested to a minimum of 6G where as a commercial airliner's wings will creak a bit at only 3G (not to worry though unless your pilot decides to complete a loop on your next trip to the Canaries!) We are a BHPA registered school and I have personally been flying and teaching since 1978. So, what is Hang Gliding?

We have an established tradition of safe, efficient training - "One of the worlds best hang gliding schools, which is run on the principle of safety first, second and last" James Pettigrew of the Sunday Mirror 1976.

The Peak school have taught thousands of doubters (and believers!) to take off since 1974 - landing however is a different matter and although no one is still up there since the seventies it is common for early flights to last for what seems like… hours.
