About the experience
Product ID: 13053
Get to know the Derbyshire countryside with an exciting 60 Minute Microlight flight from Darley Moor Airfield near Ashbourne! Not only will you get to enjoy the unique thrills of flying through the skies, but indulge in everything that's on offer at this site, as it's not just an airfield! Here, you'll find all sorts of aerial activities and even a race track, so even if the whole family isn't flying, there's a host of activities to keep them occupied whilst you whizz through the skies! This school lets you choose between a flex or fixed wing microlight, giving you the flexibility of choice and whether you want to embrace the natural elements or not! Both microlights are easy and comfortable to fly, perfect for beginners who are just starting out on their flying journey. Your expert instructor will lead the way, showing you all the controls and running you through the safety briefing before you leave the ground, so rest assured you'll be in the best hands. Once airborne, you have the choice over how much you do - if you just want to sit back and take in the sights that's more than okay, but if you're feeling the itch to fly yourself, the instructor will hand over the controls to you too. Soaring over the beautiful Derbyshire hills, there's nothing quite like a microlight flight to get you appreciating this diverse landscape.

Amazing experience. The people were great, really friendly and very helpful. The skies were clear and the view fantastic. Flying in a microlight flex wing is very different to being in a plane. You need to try it to understand. I recommend this experience. If you have a sense of adventure, youll love it.

Thoroughly enjoyed the flight .. Though more edgy than I expected. Will tell friends of my experience, but leave it up to them rather than recommend

For someone who lived in Derbyshire as a child went to school in Matlock, camped , walked, over many years,it was fantastic. I extended my flight and at 80 yrs old I would recomend this to any one..People at Ashbourne were great .

Yes would definitely recommend the microlite flight from Ashbourne to anyone. The set up is very friendly and they do an extra film 30 of your experience from a camera fixed to the wing In theory the discussion between instructor and you should be captured but that did not happen. But the views on the film reflect very much what I saw. I was allowed to fly the microlite for a while and the hour counts to your pilots licence if you wish to pursue that. They even let my grandson sit in a cockpit of a tiger moth parked on the field I would definitely go again. NH

Purchased this experience from Intotheblue. Excellent company no hassle deal was as stated and very good value for money.Did microlight experience at Darley Moor Airfield near Ashbourne. From the moment we arrived all the staff were really friendly and put you at ease. This was my first microlight flight and Mark my pilot was relaxed and explained all the safety procedures and what would happen on the flight.It was truly amazing to take off and fly over the derwent valley countryside of the derbyshire peak district including dovedale, thorpe cloud and the stepping stones. I totally recommend this experience for the most brilliant day of my life. I am 70 years old so you are never too old to try this experience.
