About Us.

Welcome to Currock Hill, home of the Northumbria Gliding Club for 42 years.

The club owns approximately 88 acres of land, high above the Tyne Valley. In fact the airfield is 800 feet above sea level and has commanding views towards the Pennines and Tyne Valley to the West, the Cheviot Hills to the North with Tyneside and North Sea Coast to the East.

We launch form our grass airfield by using our "Skylaunch" Winch and Piper Pawnee 235 for Aerotow operations and we are open on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.  Flying takes place from around 9:00AM and finishes usually about sunset.
