From Harrogate, get to the Wetherby to York Road (B1224). Almost at the end of Rufforth village, at the small grass triangle, take the road to the right. Follow this round the S-bends and, after half a mile, there is a sign pointing left to the gliding club. Follow the track past the buildings on the right and the glider trailers on the left, to enter the car park in front of the clubhouse.
From the Leeds direction, take the A64, turning off at the slip road for Askham Bryan, Askham Richard and Rufforth. At the staggered junction turn left then right, following the road to Rufforth until the sign pointing right, to the gliding club.
