Thing,

It is on their airfield info
.

Sorry to be pedantic, but I cannot see on the Little Gransden site that one should not descend to circuit height deadside. I certainly did not enter area "A" but I cannot be entirely sure I did not enter area "B"when descending deadside. As someone who flies near to several glider sites I am aware of the need to be vigilant. Only two weeks I encountered two in my home airfield zone. When this was passed to air/ground, a third party mentioned the presence of a third pretty close to our "final". Very shortly thereafter I spotted two gliders in a field just outside our zone. At no point were they on our zone's frequency which would have helped newbies like me.
