Hello Io540!
Flying low is the worst advice for GA traffic; most of it is already below 2000ft agl and most military low flying is done there also. The higer one is, the less traffic there is, the better service one gets from radar units, etc...
You may well be right, however I stand by my advice that you can miss virtually all
glider traffic by flying low. I don't know any soaring pilots who voluntarily fly below 2000' agl: "get high and stay high" is usually the nature of the game.
Cheers,

P.S. Sorry to hear that military traffic is a problem for you. Here, essentially all fast jet low-level tactical flying is confined to Alberta (Cold Lake Air Weapons Range) and Labrador (
Goose Bay), both of which are bigger than the entire UK. Miles upon miles of empty tundra, far from civilization: just the place for the boys to do their Mach 1 stuff at 50'.
