Strange how some of the most memorable glider flights aren't the long distance award or competition flights. The two that stick out in my mind are scratching around in a K18 one October, not getting above 1200' for the entire flight but hanging onto every shred I could find, I even got something out of a garden bonfire I spotted. I think it was about 50 minutes but one of the most rewarding flights I've ever had.
The other was taking a 5,000' tow in a K21 (I'd won some tow time in a lottery as I remember) one gin clear summer evening. The air was like glass and you know how the 21 runs on rails anyway. I just stuck 60 kts on and floated down, not a breath of anything in the air. It was one of those times that you weren't flying a glider, you were the glider. Absolute magic, a flight I'll never forget.
