Flying 1000km in Namibia with a glider

During the European winter several gliders are sent to Namibia in containers to enjoy the great gliding conditions during the December to January months. The glider i am flying is a Schempp Hirth Arcus M (Self-Launcher) with 20m winspan for 2 persons

On some good days its possible to fly 1000km and it happened to be such a day. Take-off around 10:30 and landing back at 19:40 (just after sunset)
