What Can I Expect
Walk and fly on a coast and country discovery day! Be it rolling countryside or dramatic coastlines, these unique packages combine a lovely walk with a flight in a helicopter - and some nice little extras are included too.
Dig out those stout boots and head off on your electronically-guided hike. It might cross rolling hills and lush fields, weave in and out of ancient forests, or head along well-worn clifftop paths. All itineraries are around eight miles long and they are all circular.
Take your time, stop to capture those landscapes on camera and just generally soak up being in the great outdoors. Look out for wildlife, listen to the birdsong and appreciate just how utterly lovely a hike can be in this country!
Having arrived back at base, it's time to follow the same coastal or country route again - but this time in a helicopter. These thrilling discovery rides will take you right along the route, giving you the opportunity to see everything you walked past from the air. Your pilot will point out the main sights for you and you'll all have a good panoramic view from the helicopter.
After your flight the fun doesn't stop there. These superb packages also include Cream Tea or Chocolates and Bubbly at your chosen destination. There's nothing like tucking into a freshly-baked scone with cream and jam after a nice walk. And if it's cream tea you're having, it's the perfect moment to sit down in a relaxed atmosphere and chat about all the things you saw.
