   * All turns must be away from the hill.
-  * An overtaking glider should pass between the ridge and the glider being overtaken or, better, turn back to avoid the need to overtake. The glider being overtaken may turn and this turn will be away from the hill.
+  * If catching up another glider ahead of you on the ridge the safest option is to turn back to avoid the need to overtake. Any glider overtaking another on the hill should exercise extreme caution, bearing in mind that the other glider could suddenly change direction.
   * If approaching head on, both gliders should turn right, but since the glider with the hill on the right probably can’t do this, the onus is with the pilot with the hill on the left to give way.
   * It is essential that pilots understand that the pilot who has the hill on the left must give way **and be seen to be doing so** in plenty of time.
