Yeah i mess around with gliders as well. Took a break for a few years. I'm in the UK for a couple of years on a work assignment and have taken it back up again for something to do on the weekends. The club i fly at has a ridge which is pretty slick (though not had the chance yet to ride it). I'm solo but still in the twin-seater k21's - i'm too light to get into the Astir CS (79kg min!!!) and not enough time for the LS4.
When i come back to Melbourne i will probably get back into it. I like the idea of a syndicate Taurus/Sinus. I dont know what the soaring is like around Melbourne, but i can imagine flying the aircraft up to Mt Buffalo area turning the motor off and mucking around would be a blast.
Anyhow, nice to meet you all. Long time lurker.
