Cloud Sucks, Cloud Really Sucks!

Part of the flight to Mont Granier when I experienced a bit of cloud suck. Initially I wasn't worried as to my west it was clear and above me it was forming quite slowly. I then noticed that the clouds shadow was growing fast ........ too late I was well and truly in it. I wanted to get out quickly as I knew there were 2 or 3 sailplanes close by.
