Welcome to Canterbury Gliding

"racing over the plains"
the home of the Canterbury Gliding Club

Gliding is the ultimate free flying experience. It is a truly diverse sport that can be enjoyed at all levels:
from the thriving club scene, to aerobatics, to the international racing competitions.

"Once you have tasted flight, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned forever skyward, for there you have been, and there you long to return" Leonardo Da Vinci.

Gliding is also a sport for all ages - from those who go solo on their 16th birthday through their club cadet schemes; there is no upper
age limit.
