My First Glider flight via Winch launching at Kent Gliding Club, Challock, Kent.

My 2020 Birthday present was a Glider flight from Kent Gliding Club, Challock, Kent. Delayed by a year because of Covid.

This brings back memories, I trained to fly Solo and even did some Cross Country in that exact sailplane many years ago! Its video's like this that make me want to get back into it!

Hi Steve, I am sure I was sitting in the winch launching you several times!!!! Just seen this video and it certainly brings back many memories....

@@smax3117 I believe you were! Small world indeed. Hope you're well! Tell me about it, nothing better than being up in the clouds!

@@steveclackuk Absolutely, though if I remember you did spent a fair time driving around in my car with Adam!!! I miss flying very much, I live in Brazil now and while the weather is fabulous I am still looking for a gliding club. I am coming to UK next week and may try to grab a flight at KGC if possible...

@@smax3117 boys will be boys, i guess, haha! It was very much looked after, too, i promise! I do miss the laughs and humour around the club with everyone! Blimey, you lucky thing! Julie is still on reception there, and I'm sure you could drop her a quick email. :) I was talking to Adam the other week about meeting at the club one weekend! I see prices have sky rocketed for membership, though.

@@steveclackuk Ha ha yes, you were all very careful and it is good to do different things. Great days and I do miss them. I am still in touch with some at the club so will definitely be dropping in. Send my regards to your mum and dad and Emma. I hope all are doing well.
