Go gliding in Yorkshire with Burn Gliding Club for the winged experience of a lifetime over the hills & moors! This North Yorkshire centre is situated on an ex-WWII bomber command airfield near Burn outside Selby & offers unparalleled aerial views of the scenic surroundings & a birds-eye perspective of God's own county. What's more its rural location means that summertime sunshine creates plenty of localised rising currents of air (or thermals) thanks to what the Burn gliding team refers to as the ' Pennine wave' giving your glider that extra boost to keep you airborne for even longer. In winter the plumes from the three nearby power stations of Drax Eggborough & Ferrybridge recreate this thermal lift effect even when there's snow on the ground everywhere else making this a unique setting for gliding. All glider experience days at this Yorkshire airfield begin with a brief welcome then it's out to the runways to find out which of the club's many twin-seater gliders you'l... ...
Tee off in the Highlands with a round of Glencoe golf! The Dragon's Tooth golf course is just lovely. It's right in the heart of the West Highlands of Scotland at the foot of the mighty Glencoe Valley. This course has been beautifully nurtured since 2002 & offers a fun course with stunning views. Now you might think a golf course in the hilly Lochaber region would mean slogging up steep hills to reach the greens. Far from it at Dragon's Tooth. Very skilfully thought out by golf course designer Rob Hisemen (whose portfolio also Includes:: the prestigious Royal Golf Club at Riffa Views in Bahrain with Colin Montgomerie) the greens make the most of the natural lay of the land to create what is actually a gentle meandering course on undulating l&. What strikes any golfer teeing off here at Dragon's Tooth is the vistas from the elevated greens. The fairways seem to plunge into the shores of Loch Linnhe framed by the Ben Vhair mountain range beyond. & indeed there are lots of golf... ...
That famous GT500 car named Eleanor was Gone in 60 Seconds but you'll be pleased to hear that with this experience there's no need to have the audacity of Memphis & his gang to steal one as this Eleanor Mustang will be waiting for you to drive her! You can't beat a good old action/heist movie & the original Gone in 60 Seconds that came out in 1974 was good but the 2000 remake starring the likes of Nicolas Cage (Memphis) Angelina Jolie (Sway) Christopher Eccleston (' The Carpenter') & a certain Shelby-style Mustang called Eleanor is pure car jacking gangster genius with more car chases & high speed getaways than you can shake a stick at We won't recount the whole plot here but needless to say it involves young gun Kip getting intro trouble as he launches his car stealing career. Retired pro car thief brother Memphis gets called in to help & the only way to save Kip is to nick 50 cars for Brit bad boy Raymond Calitri all whilst the cops are on the tail of their plan. The g... ...
