Received a voucher from my wife as a birthday gift. Made an appointment and went along to Fisherwick airfield for experience. Everyone there was very friendly and helpful. As Id not been in a microlight before, my pilot was very helpful and reassuring. We proceeded to have a one hour flight and I loved every minute. Both the take off and landing were silky smooth and I was presented with a certificate at the end of the experience. Id have no hesitation in recommending this experience to anyone thinking of having their first microlight flight and I hope they enjoy it as much as I did.
