We’re lucky here at Wolds Gliding club in that we own the airfield. We have 2 runways (North/South and North-West/South-East.) Each runway has both a hard surface and a grass surface. We tend to prefer the grass for launching/landing but the hard can also be used for landing.
We have a purpose built clubhouse with bar, briefing rooms, bunk rooms, showers and offices.
There is a campsite with electrical hookup.
We can launch via aerotow or winch in any wind direction.
We have a modern fleet of aircraft as below:
4x two seater training gliders.
3x single seater gliders.
3x tug aircraft (for aerotows)
2x winches (launching to 1200ft typically)
1x motor glider for cross country training
We also have an advanced, triple-screen, gliding simulator that we use as part of the training (and when it’s raining!)
We are a 10 minute walk from the popular market town of Pocklington and a 2 minute walk from Starbucks, KFC, Subway etc
