We operate one day during the week - usually Wednesdays, but we now pick the best looking day weather wise - Saturdays and Sundays from Ridgewell Airfield on days during the summer months whenever the weather is good enough to fly. A short flight is a highly memorable experience as you are launched high into the sky to fly silently over the Suffolk countryside. But it doesn’t have to end there – many choose to continue their gliding adventure and go onto fly solo – so why not try it today! Route By: Ben HowardRoute By: Ben Howard

This is a green road route and not an off-road route as Outdooractive state. Off-roading is illegal, in the UK, unless with the permission of the owner which is rarely given unless for money. All of the roads in this route are on public roads, either on a byway, UCR (unclassified road), A, B or C road and hence are not off-road in anyway or form. Hence this route is for recreational driving using a 4x4 car on a legal public highway.
