I'm not sure what Terry's neighbour was growing... or perhaps he is the
president of the local nudist club...
Perhaps some perspective is needed. Outlandings are a normal part of
our sport and almost all go well. Expecting the worst is not a good way
to build confidence.
In 35 years of X/C gliding I have had my share or outlandings, and I've
done a lot of retrieves. I've heard stories about farmers from hell,
and I'm sure they exist, but I've never actually met one. The usual
reactions I get are curiosity, concern, and the best of cooperation and
assistance.
I've had beer, food, lifts, wing runners, help with derigging,
hospitality - and I've met some terrific people. Even the mythical
"farmers daughter" on one occasion (but perhaps I was dreaming).
I've never damaged anything. Not me, not my glider, no property, no
animals. Yes, maybe next time it will happen. I should not speak too soon.
A smile and a friendly explanation goes a long way, I find. And so, I
expect, would an up front apology and offer to pay for damage, if it was
necessary. I can't imagine the need for police, or lawyers. Or
documents in the glove box.
Cheers

That's the article I remember.
Printed and ready for the glovebox.
A little more prominence perhaps.
