Hi everyone :-) GR8 to have service 'back'!
Question for any / all interested: What is your travel time /

distance
(round trip?) from home to gliding / soaring club - site? Not that

will
make any difference to actual journey I need to take but knowing what
fellow enthusiast 'endure' to enjoy our fantastic sport / hobby will
probably make me feel 'much better' (s a factor in choosing which

club
to join here in South Africa)! From my home (Benoni) must allow 4 hrs
(approx 350 Km) average for any of the 'local' clubs...
Thanks in advance. FLY SAFE! very best regards Nigel R

45 miles, 50 minutes each way from home to Cambridge Soaring Centre.

From my house, the distance is 190 miles or 306K and 3 hours to the
Ephrata Airport.
