60 Minute Microlight Flight
Description
Take to the sky and experience a thrilling aerial adventure like never before with an incredible 60 Minute Microlight Flight.
Microlighting perfectly captures the spirit of early aviation - pioneering, thrilling and a touch eccentric. These quirky little aircrafts, with their panoramic views from the cockpit, are ideal for short trips over the countryside. Flying a microlight is the perfect treat on a fine summer's day.
To start the day you will be given a detailed safety briefing from your instructor, which includes how to use the microlight's dual controls, how to enter the microlight safely and all pre-take off checks. You then take to the sky, climbing up to 1,500 feet above ground level in a flex-wing (open cockpit) or fixed wing (closed cockpit - similar to a mini plane) aircraft (please state preference at time of booking). The instructor will demonstrate the controls and then, if the instructor is happy, control of the microlight will be passed to you.

OxfordshireMunya from Purchasing, July 2018

This was my first time flying in a hot air balloon and I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed it! We arrived at the crack of dawn and were welcomed by the friendly team at Virgin Balloon flights.
As part of my experience I helped them to inflate the balloon which was quite exciting, believe it or not! Before we took off, we were given a safety briefing and then our flight commenced. Once we were in the air, everything on the ground became smaller and the views we had were breathtaking! We had the sun rising in the background as well to add to what was a beautiful day.
During the flight, our pilot provided us with a guide tour from above which I thought was educational and went hand in hand with the experience. When we landed, we were treated to a nice chilled glass of champagne which went down a treat!
Overall I would recommend this experience for everyone, especially couples because the memories you take away are unforgettable. I certainly would want to do this again!
Top Tip
Depending on what the weather is like on the day, try not to wear too many layers because the burners in the balloon will certainly keep you warm!
