In the US I would consider a road seriously, since many outside urban areas are wide enough and unencumbered by fences etc: Agree with Cat Driver in this respect.. .. .In the UK, it's more difficult to find a suitable road as ours tend to be too busy, narrow or obstructed by fences, lighting etc.. .. .So it would be the field in the UK for me, with the gentlest touch down I could manage.. .. .Not the ideal choice at the moment, but if you can't take a joke...... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> . .. .Mind you, I'd have a quick scan around to see if there was a disused RAF base in gliding distance.
