Thank you.

Can you give me an idea how much cloud flying takes place (maybe a guestimate of the number of pilots who would fly in cloud on a good soaring day) and how long a glider will typically spend in cloud.

How common are long cross country flights in an out of cloud?

I am actually really grateful to understand better how the cross country aspect of glider flight works - I know very little about it, and without an understanding I dont see how we can properly discuss how we might make such operations safer (if at at all possible).
