Had a crack at gliding !

Hi all,
Just wanted to share some thoughts on going up in a glider. I have always wanted to do it, but I was worried that I would feel claustrophobic being enclosed in the canopy , but after sitting in it with it closed for 10 minutes, I was absolutely fine . In fact, I went the opposite way, to feeling like it was too open! (so much visibility in there).
I plucked up the courage though, and gave it a go. Absolutely loved it, and for £85 it was a bargain (I was up quite a long time).
Photos on the link below, for anyone interested. I add stuff all the time.

Nice one Geezer

I had a go at flying my Brother's plane once, terrifying

 

But was it just terrifying because it was 'you' flying it @Zigs??

I should have added that you can keep clicking on an image until it won't get any bigger.

 

Great photos @NorthantsGeezer

 

Thank you @Beckie76 . It was tricky at times, as you are strapped in pretty tightly, and as you hit turbulence the camera would suddenly become weightless and end up 6" or more higher than you were holding it . I found it easier to hold it out at 90 degrees, and click and hope.
Do you fancy having a go??

Say yes! But I know I'd get there & bottle it!
