My first flight at Ely was over 600km, my fourth one was 990km, my
shortest that week was ~500km ... and that was in a wing-loading
limited glider. Ely is just awesome!

Let us know when you find a non-wing-loading-limited glider! :-)

Go to any glider port where the conditions are weak, and you'll find a
lot of them that aren't limited by wing loading ;-)
