was the pilot (you?) ever worried that it was going to end up short. If yes, how far back?

@jacoherbst No. Final glide was from 114km and it was absolutely rock solid from about 50km out. If I was at all worried I might have just pulled the speed back below 100kts for the last little bit... The .igc file can be seen on the OLC website, April 1 2011, number 35 on the list.

Wow! For a hangglider oldtimer with several exiting "long gildes", this seems almost impossible! By the way here is my story;(Look at the hanggliding Extreme..)

@milsluker It is a whole different world if you can still do 40:1 at 90 knots....

@JamesWiesel I think someone ended up in the lake some years ago after an aerotow rope break but it was no big deal. Yes, it is a fantastic gliding site.
