Abney is a great spot for a gliding club. Those aerial shots are stunning & genuinely breathtaking - huge drop!!! Planes look so flimsy - love to have a go!
lovely views - would like to do this but it can wait a very long time I think!!! i am sure it would feel like a a floating soundless bird gliding through the air - wow what an experience! great video to sooth the day :)
Often see the glider from the Abney Gliding Club swooping over the ridge at Great Hucklow, so graceful and quiet, lovely circular walk from Great Hucklow down and up the valley to Abney - gliders in view all the way.
Just to avoid any confusion, the gliding club is officially at Camphill Airfield, Great Hucklow and its the Derbyshire and Lancashire Gliding Club. Having said that its very nice to be associated with the lovelly village of Abney. We frequently fly over Abney and use it and the other villages as reference points. If anyone would like to come to the airfield to visit and to find out more about us, you will be very welcome.
