Final at 3:05
My second fieldlanding. Started a 300 km task, and made it 17km out of the start line :( Was a bit over optimistic about the conditions. got low and found what I thought was a grass field to land in. On long final I discovered a power line a few hundred meters in front of my field, and I passed over it with a safe margin. Right before the flair I realized this was not a smooth grass field, but rather a tall weat field. Instinctivly I tried to keep the wings level and the speed as low as possible before touchdown. I hit the weat at aprox 80km/h and came to a halt about one second later. It was a sudden stop, and in the process the glider groundlooped almost 180 degrees. No structural damages, only a few minor scratches and I was picked up 30 min later.
