I don't think that matters.

If the person(s) know where they are, can recognise a glider, read its
registration and sign their name they'll do as witnesses.

I take it you didn't do your Silver distance in a NNE direction from
Gransden then ;-)

Indeed. Is Hus.Bos ever empty? I went to Rattlesden on an August Bank
Holiday, so there were plenty of observers on the field when I
arrived. I did it in a Junior in blue condtions and took 3 1/2 hours
over it. I used to be *very* slow in blue conditions and am not a lot
faster now.

Fingers crossed for a nice atypical August for the Gransden Regionals
then!

The Silver distance I mentioned also went to Rattlesden, but arrived
to find a deserted airfield.

I've noticed they don't fly much during the week - my Silver distance
was to Wormingford where they greeted me with open arms, took me to
the pub and left me unable to help the crew derig when they arrived at
10pm ;-) That's a great reason for Silver Distances to a foreign
field!
