After working throughout the last year of pandemic, I've really got to force myself to take some time away from work. I've got plenty of leave to use up by the end of the year. So I figured I should do a week's intensive gliding course.
Living in Northamptonshire, the obvious candidate is The Gliding Centre at Husbands Bosworth. But I've already had much of my 500-odd hours of fixed-wing microlight time in the local skies. It feels a bit boring covering rather flat ground that I'm already rather familiar with.
So I'm thinking it would make more sense to go for something residential further afield, maybe somewhere hilly to get a bit more 'mountain flying' experience to take back to my microlight flying. Does this make sense given my experience? Anywhere particular to recommend? Happy to travel, subject to accommodation on-site back up and running re: COVID-19.
