“I have had a quick read of your book and I love it. It should be recommended reading for all early solo pilots taking their first steps away from the circuit.” Andy Davis MBE – double World gliding champion.

Who’s this book for?
Anyone who has mastered the mechanics of flying a glider, and wants to develop their soaring skills and confidence beyond flying circuits. It’s for anyone between 5 hours and 5000 hours experience level!
Overview:
Many people will assume that having an adventure in a glider relies on experience, an uncanny feel for the sky and perhaps a little magic. In fact, there is very little magic fairy dust involved. What gliding really asks of its participants is to take part in a journey. That journey is not only about the techniques you learn along the way, but especially the confidence you will develop as you learn those techniques. That well-founded confidence is what will ultimately take you on adventures that you will never forget.
That’s why I try to explain in simple, manageable chunks, how to gain that skill and confidence and how to continually discover new horizons – literally! I don’t use many diagrams or even much detailed theory. I try to explain techniques using photos of things and stories of flights that I have picked up in my twenty-five years learning this sport.
