Lastly, a little teaser; in gliding terms a heniously expensive holiday - about 1000ukp for 15hrs sat in a nice duo discus with an equally nice chap in the back to keep me out of trouble (necessary given the environment)... everything thrown in, oxy the lot. Imagine sitting at 15,000, perfectly still air, eerie silence, looking at this:
Are there any course available abroad where you can learn to glide, say over a week, and make a holiday of it? Or is it best to learn beforehand?
I'm looking to do some powered flying abroad at some point, but, for views like your picture, I wouldn't mind doing gliding on top of powered.
