You don't have to. Even though I'm an inexperienced glider pilot (only
about 50 hours in gliders), I've flown from one airport to another
airport in a glider. Any glider pilot who gets their basic 'Silver'
(that means virtually every glider pilot in Britain with any experience)
has flown from one place and landed at another in a glider.
