Hovercraft Experience Days: Here�??s a chance for kids to pilot one of the coolest machines
out there �?? the hovercraft! During this awesome experience, in
Cheshire, kids can fly their own personal craft, under the
supervision of trained instructors. They�??ll learn to guide it round
a waterlogged course, and compete to clock the fastest time!
The experience takes place at one of the region�??s top outdoor
activity centres. On arrival, young pilots will be greeted by an
instructor, who�??ll discuss safety, before introducing the group to
the hovercraft. The English inventor, Christopher Cockerell,
patented the first hovercraft, in 1952. Since then, they�??ve been
put to different uses around the world, though today�??s small craft
still operate on the same principles as Cockerell�??s original. On
the race track, the instructor will demonstrate how to start, stop,
and negotiate bends. Gliding on a cushion of air, kids will then
complete several laps of the circuit, including a final time trial
race. The group takes turns throughout, so they�??ll receive further
instruction between laps �?? crucial if they want to top that
leaderboard!
The Kids Hovercraft Experience, in Cheshire, is suitable for
children aged 5 �?? 13. Surprise a loved one with an Experience Days
gift voucher, and give them a day out they�??ll never forget!
