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.)
