Gliders galore!

Sunday was a beautifully sunny day and provided perfect thermals for the National Gliding Championships which were being run from the gliding fields at Lasham, just a 10 minute drive away from The Barn. Sitting on the terrace with drink in hand we watched dozens of gliders, all seemingly circling above The Barn and Barford Farm House. If anyone knows how one wins a gliding competition please let me know. Is it the one which stays in the air the longest, the one which reaches the highest heights or maybe some other perameter?
