SURFACE – No-No’s
•Rape – anything yellow is worth avoiding: turquoise green before it goes yellow: rape stubble is almost as bad – looks ‘ragged’.
•Ridge & Furrow (lots of it locally) – will definitely wreck your glider unless you are good enough to land along a ridge – few are !
•Long crop – see next slide
•Anything not a uniform colour shade
–gentle shading might be ok but not hard lines (->electric fences)
•Ragged looking fields – often grazing pasture or long crop damaged by the wind, or rape
•Livestock – will eat your glider or trample on it
•Also the landowner will not be happy if you frighten valuable animals
