I have a simple XC rule. Never fly beyond safe gliding distance to a known-safe landing site. That doesn't mean I don't go, it means I scout a lot of landing sites from the ground. I walk them, measure them and note the details in a little book. GPS makes this kind of expedition a lot easier and more accurate. It would be really great if you and all others that do things like that could maybe share the textual results with others. If such observations could be collected in put in a spreadsheet, or some other fairly searchable form it would be of great service to all, especially those that are unfamiliar with an area they happen to come to for a week or so, or even are just starting to explore XC soaring. I would be willing if no one else is to be a "translator" that is if people send me text files, I'll put them in a spreadsheet (anyone that would like to help....). Logical place to place them would be on the SSA server, or at the worldwide turnpoint exchange. Failing that I can still find some space on my server for something like that (I do not have space for pictures, sorry, but everyone could find home for a picture or two, and links could be published.)
