I've only flown gliders from about twenty airfields/farm strips in New Zealand and the USA but I can not think of ANY OF THEM that had such a never-never-land, and I would not be comfortable flying from one. Who said anything about being comfortable? 5000ft plus density altitude, 5 kt tail wind, a full load of water, and then find sinking air on the climb out. Certainly not comfortable but not uncommon at contests in Western US. Andy
