Following on from Cherokee's funny thread (which I'm afraid I turned into a
discussion on the Silver badge - sorry chaps!) perhaps people would like to
share their most amusing moments after landing out off the airfield.

Southeast ridge day out of Blairstown. It started raining, and the
wind direction changed. Turn around, land in a field which I could no
longer see but knew was there. Turned out to be a pig farm. Not one
nice field but several electric fences I hadn't spotted from the
ridge.
Uneventful short field landing, nobody home at any house for miles.
The pig farmer returned later, but hadn't done well at the market and
didn't want to turn the fence off. Said to the soaked glider pilot:
"Perhaps if we leave it there overnight small ones will grow around it
like mushrooms, and I can sell them at the market".
He let us take down the fence when Captain Curt showed up.
You meet some interesting people on landouts.
