Nice place, I did some gliding instructing out of there about 5 years ago. They were also kind enough to let me stay there one summer whilst I worked locally. Friendly atmosphere, good standard of training and great views of the country. However if you want to be a soaring pilot (although the ridge and thermals often work fine ITS IS NOT THE BEST OF SITES - it is ok, but it is not ideal). However if you are learning, or looking at an intensive course, its really good. Food isn't bad, but in my opinion, the bar needs to be better stocked. Oh, and its got good showers and the bunk rooms are comfortable. Nice curry house just down the road too.

In fact, not a bad place all together. Go for it.

PM me if you want more info
