Let your downwash do the walking!
i.e you dont have to get too close to the shelter belts and other hazards if the inversion layer is low and your at same height as the hazards.
Pays to have two on board, and constantly remind each other of the hazards, especially wires. Vineyards are bound to have a few floating around.
One block I had, was quite narrow and had a 200' fall from top to bottom. With power lines right in middle of block. Now these lines didnt follow the fall of the land, the land dropped away, so the wires got higher at certain points.
So we set altimeter to zero at low point and made sure we kept certain heights on way back up hill.
Now, before people jump on and say stuff like "why fly on such a slope", they wanted the buds protecting at the low points, as cold air "pooled" in the ends of the small blocks. And as PIC I had full support of the land owners if I choose not to go, which I did stop once til the moon came out as it was far to black....As others have said, dont be afraid to stop if its not good.
