G`Day,

I have a small contest every year on WWW.Segelflug.DE
called
'Grüne Wiese' (green meadow) - because thats the most
liked place
to outland an glider on (with some cows ! on the meadow)

The contest runs every year since 2001:
http://www.segelflug.de/events/wiese...uenewiese.html

and theire are 2 categories:

1.) Most outlandings in one year
2.) Best story

How about a 3rd category, the Golden Towbar for the
longest retrieve, to be awarded to the driver (along
with a bottle of something or other). I mean not the
land-out furthest from the airfield, but the longest
distance that has to be driven to the retrieve. Here
in Scotland a land-out not that many miles away can
entail a much, much longer drive!
