How does one stop burring out the sky on a sunny day?
I know full on hot days are pretty naff for good images, but if you take a regular shot of 1/3 land 2/3 sky, how doy ou get the land to be the right exposure and the sky to be right too?
Mine are either too white and bright (sky) or nice sky but a dark gloomy land!

Try lowering the EV ratings until you get a good picture. Maybe try taking one photo at the perfect sky and one with the perfect landscape and combining them in post-production if it doesn't work. Unfortunately DPC illegal but should do the trick.
A polarized filtered lens may also help. Gradient filters would also help.

Avoid Noon time for photos!
Wait for Sun do go down but if you have to do it use ESP metering and -0.3 or -0.7 EV and polarizing filter:
