That ended last year and I am fairly sure that the current policy doesnt cover gliding. Still covers winter sports etc though. </p> http://glidemet.co.uk/glidetalk/topic/4#post-16 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 12:55:17 +0000 aharrison24 16@http://glidemet.co.uk/glidetalk/ <p>Thanks for all the info everyone.

The European Soaring Club had a link on their web site if they are still about </p> http://glidemet.co.uk/glidetalk/topic/4#post-9 Sun, 27 Apr 2008 07:49:14 +0000 Ed Downham 9@http://glidemet.co.uk/glidetalk/ <p>P J Hayman <a href="http://www.pjhayman.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.pjhayman.com</a> do a sports insurance in various categories which _specifically_ includes gliding. You can do one-offs or yearly cover and there are options as to the level of cover. They have a scale of risk and gliding is actually in one of the lower groups.</p> <p>I wanted something that had exactly what I wanted detailed in the fine print; there's no point hoping that you'll be covered if it isn't down there in black and white. I can't remember what it cost (I have the yearly worldwide version) but it seemed reasonable as it included the normal elements of travel insurance too... </p> http://glidemet.co.uk/glidetalk/topic/4#post-8 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 20:03:33 +0000 Scylla 8@http://glidemet.co.uk/glidetalk/ <p>My hubbie is insured through his AmEx card - that covers gliding, as well as scuba and off-piste skiing for all the family and it's included in the annual card fee. You also get to use the airline lounges whilst you're waiting for your flight to the USA :) </p> http://glidemet.co.uk/glidetalk/topic/4#post-7 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 20:10:32 +0000 aharrison24 7@http://glidemet.co.uk/glidetalk/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I know this was talked to death on gliderpilot.net, but I can't go back and check the archives at the moment...</p> <p>Can anyone recommend some travel insurance that will cover gliding activities? I'm planning to fly in the USA in a few weeks.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Alastair </p>
