RE: [aus-soaring] Diamond height in thermals

[Garrity, Allan (Allan)** CTR **]

The only min req. in the uk for cloud flying is that the occupants are
wearing parachutes, as for choosing a large Cu - I think you mean Cb - sorry
but we would be well into airspace in most of the UK before Diamond height
was reached.

Easy,

Go to the UK, pick a good unstable day in spring and make sure your glider 
is equipped for cloud flying (min reqirement is a t&s and radio).  Make 
sure you are trained as it is easy to become dis-oriented if you are not 
familiar with flying on instruments.  Choose a large CU and off you go...
