Extreme Element are pleased to offer you the chance to fly with the birds during the amazing Tandem Hang Glide experience. You will be towed behind a microlight to a height of 2000ft with you and your instructor and the specially designed tandem hang glider. Run your fingers through the clouds as you take control of the glider, or simply sit back and enjoy the views. This really is a unique experience of a lifetime, hanging on the outside of an aircraft, head down with nothing but the rush of the wind over your face...Your chance to be superman for the day!
After an introduction to the equipment and a pre flight briefing, you will be harnessed into the hang glider with your instructor. The microlight will start, and begin towing the glider into the air for a thrilling ride, gaining height, all the while taking in the great views. At 2000ft the towline will be jettisoned and you and your instructor will glide free and silent in complete awe of the spectacular views overlooking the beautiful countryside..... An experience only shared with the birds. You may even take the controls and fly the hang glider yourself or enjoy the thrill of limited aerobatics depending on weather conditions and your instructor.
