Your Experience
Take to the skies with this Microlighting Experience for Two – a thrilling chance for each of you to enjoy your own 60-minute flight over Northumberland.
Departing separately from Eshott Airfield, you’ll both experience the freedom of flight in an open cockpit microlight, guided by an experienced instructor.
Your adventure begins on the ground, where you’ll be briefed and suited up in professional flying gear. Once ready, you’ll taxi to the runway before powering up and launching into the air. Within moments, the landscape unfolds beneath you, from ancient castles to rugged coastlines.
The suggested flight path heads east to Warkworth Castle, then follows the coastline past Dunstanburgh and Bamburgh before turning inland across wild moorland. You’ll fly over Chillingham Castle and several historic country estates before reaching Alnwick Castle and Gardens. From there, the route leads back to the home airfield.
Each flight lasts an hour, giving you time to enjoy both the scenery and the sensation of flying.
This package includes two separate flights, so you can share the experience without sharing the cockpit.
Ideal for couples or close friends, this flying experience offers a fresh perspective on Northumberland, and a story you’ll both remember!
