Gliding is a therapeutic activity, I enjoyed so much and it makes you disconnect from work every weekend since you start washing up the leading edge of the wings until you put it back to the hangar.
It is a great way to get a real feeling of flying, it will create a good base to develop later if you consider jumping to engined aircraft.
As a glider pilot you always need some help, someone to tow you, to run your wing on take off and to pick you up if you land off field, therefore it creates a nice ambience where you ended up helping each other. Creating a teamwork ambience.
I really want to make a return but unfortunately where I am now there are no gliding clubs.
Go for it!
