Private Pilots and gliding experience
So, MG, you are one of the 'it looks like Kemble so it must be Kemble' brigade ! We at Aston Down witness many who have made that mistake, and even when we walk the pilot to the signal square after landing, and which clearly says 'AD', they still can't believe it is not Kemble !
Seriously though, glad you got a good welcome in the bar where my fellow club members relieved you of all the loose change. Come again and try gliding. You'll wonder why you have missed it all these years.
The problem about flying across gliding sites (which you nearly did presumably) is that if they are winch launching you won't see the cable up to 3000' AGL and it won't half change the performance of an aircraft if you try and fly through it. This is a subject the Airprox Board and CAA will be re-iterating this winter in their publicity.
