Flying Experiences in Scotland

In Scotland you can take part in a helicopter experience that involves a flying lesson and tour of the hangers as well as lunch. This four-hour experience would be ideal for someone dreaming of becoming a helicopter pilot one day. Alternatively you could experience the thrill of a short 15-minute ride in a luxurious helicopter over stunning Scottish scenery.

If you would prefer to fly a fixed wing aircraft over the Highlands and Islands of Scotland then you could choose a 60-minute introductory flying lesson. Take the controls of a small aircraft while being supervised by an experienced expert and learn some basic flying skills. Alternatively, why not take a flight with an experienced instructor on a microlight. This highly maneuverable craft can add a different dimension to your flight over Scotland.

Taking a hot air balloon ride over beautiful Scotland would be another way of experiencing this country's tranquility at a slower pace. While floating over the lochs and glens enjoy a glass of bubbly high in the sky. The 360-degree visibility will certainly enhance the overall flying experience that you could appreciate together with another special person.

3rd time lucky

After 2 attempts in the summer, cancelled due to poor weather conditions, it was 3rd time lucky. The staff were very friendly and helpful on all occasions, and apologetic when cancelled. The flight was smooth and interesting, going over the sea, over a castle and grounds etc. About 15 minutes into the flight, you take over the controls, under the guidance of the pilot.

Excellent afternoon tea

We have just enjoyed an excellent prosecco afternoon tea at the Swan at Hay Hotel, Hay-on-Wye. Simple, non-fussy finger sandwiches, lovely scones, Welsh Cakes, Bara Brith, chicolate brownies, and lemon drizzle cake along with a large pot of tea. The surroundings are beautiful and the staff are lovely.

70th Birthday gift

Afternoon tea with champagne for two at this wonderful venue was a delight. The staff were friendly and accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. The savoury sandwiches and cakes were delicious and the choice of tea was extensive. The decor was tropical and the bone china matched the wallpaper! We will both be celebrating here in the future!
