National
and Club Ladder
.
The Ladder is an informal, year-long competition designed primarily
to encourage cross-country soaring amongst glider pilots based in
the UK. There are in fact three National Ladders. The Open Ladder
to which any flight may qualify, the Weekend Ladder, where the flight
must have taken place at the weekend and the Junior Ladder where
the pilot must qualify as a junior (under 25). The National
Ladder and all participating club ladders can be viewed at the
National
Ladder Web Site
