The mountain ridges running through the area provide great ridge flights for long cross country flights. When weather conditions permit, wave flights are also possible. The BRSS has a high altitude waiver window, allowing for flights up to 23,000 feet.

Every September, the BRSS hosts the Region 4 South contest. One of the most notable contests was in 1990, when 17 of the 25 pilots completed a 1000 km task, covering ridges in 4 states.

Ground facilities include a club house with full kitchen, great room, and dining room. There is a large campground with utility hookups and a shower house. Most social activities are centered around a large, covered picnic pavilion and bon fire ring.

Our club glider fleet includes two L-23 Super Blaniks, two L-33 Blanik Solos, one ASK-21 and a high performance LS-6b. The club's tow planes are a Call Aire and a 235hp Pawnee. In addition, about 20 privately owned sailplanes are based out of New Castle International Gliderport.

Elegantly poised in the heart of the quiet historic district of Rocky Mount within minutes to major attractions.

We are located in the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The B&B is just 15 miles south of the Blue Ridge Parkway MP 121. (click here for map) The Blue Ridge Parkway is unabashedly America’s drive-through National Park. The BRP is a 469.1 mile long with zero stops. "America's Favorite Drive."

History envelops the captivating towns of Southwest Virginia like the haze that brands the Blue Ridge Mountains. From Rocky Mount you can pursue it all, from museums to mountains, hiking to scenic highways, antiquing to wine-tasting, and even toe-tapping fiddle-playing Bluegrass, all at a leisurely country pace.

Claiborne House Bed and Breakfast is the perfect jumping off point to many historic points of interest in SW and Central Virginia. We are at the starting point for the Crooked Road: Virginia's Heritage Music Trail. We're just just a short drive to Booker T Washington National Monument.
