Positiv We had a fantastic stay at the Derbyshire & Lancashire Gliding Club and would highly recommend it. The atmosphere was welcoming from the moment we arrived, and it was a real treat to be surrounded by gliders, launch activity, and the buzz of the airfield. Watching the gliders being prepared and seeing them climb away on tow made the whole stay feel special for anyone with even a slight interest in aviation or gliding. The food was excellent throughout our visit. The full English breakfast was one of the best we’ve had at a campsite — freshly cooked, generous portions, and exactly what you need before a day on the hill or around the airfield. We also tried the chilli, which was hearty and full of flavour. A special mention has to go to John’s beer-battered fish, which was absolutely superb. The batter was light and crispy, the fish was perfectly cooked, and it was clear it was made with care. Whilst Silvia poured the perfect pint in the club bar. The site itself is well kept, peaceful, and has amazing views across the surrounding countryside. Sitting outside watching the gliders return to circuit and make smooth final approaches was a highlight of the trip. What really stood out, though, was the incredible effort put in by John and Silvia. They seem to do absolutely everything — from looking after guests and preparing food to keeping the site running smoothly and creating such a friendly atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble, and they made everyone feel genuinely welcome. The club has a huge asset in John and Silvia, and their hard work and dedication are a big part of what makes this place so special. Overall, a brilliant combination of friendly people, great food, and a unique gliding setting. We’ll definitely be back for another landing here soon!
