Gyrocopter flights over the Lake District are a breathtaking way to discover this wonderful area of natural beauty. These gyroplane rides in the Lake District take off from a privately owned airfield hidden by the peaks of the mountains. Here at FlyDays we have the perfect gyroplane experience for you. Located at Berrier Airfield, owned and run by experienced pilot Roger Savage, you will be in expert hands. On this 30-Minute flying experience you will have the opportunity to plan your flight path and itinerary with Roger during your ground briefing and will be handed the controls so that you can fly the gyrocopter yourself. Depending on the weather on the day, you can either head west towards Keswick and explore the lakes or enjoy aerial views of the Cumbrian coast. The Lake District is a nature lover's paradise and the perfect place to explore from the air. The views are absolutely breath-taking and the experience is one that you will never forget. Take to the skies with a Lake District gyrocopter flight from TrackDays.co.uk.
