I find it amazing that a glider would be at 250 ft in the midst of a
distance flight. That just doesn't make good sense. Even a motor
glider, with the ability to redeploy the powerplant, would not normally
fly that low. Since Chris B. has a dislike for them, perhaps British
glider pilots fly differently from the ones that I know.
