This clip was taken on one of the first take off that day (6:00 AM) so... no termals at all :-) It was just training flight with no regular pattern and with landing to "limited area" (landing across the runway).Release altitude was about 300 meters, then right 270° turn across the airfield, turning over the landing place and.. landing just over there.
There is different. You can release in 300 -400 meters, when is stong wind you can lift to 500 meters. You can catch lift on first attempt, when is wonderful weather, or third attempt, when is worse weather.

What altitude are you at when releasing and how long do you have to find lift before entering the landing pattern?
