Hi Frank. Looking to tour the USA in my dotage. Would be nice to see your
map. Could you post a tinyurl please?

In UK soaring is definitely weather dependent. It is also about where you
can get a tow in a decent glider. If you are over this side between April
and August, look me up at Booker which is just 20 minutes from LHR. You can
take me flying in our Duo.
