Is it your level?Paragliding

A 100m carry along the NE track to take-off. The take-off area is large and flat, and the hill has a nice rounded front. Take care not to stumble in the subsidence cracks near take-off. They can be obscured by ground cover.

Before you goQuite a nice site to fly when conditions are soarable. Wave is not uncommon, and good height gains are possible even in winter. Can be a good alternative to Pandy. Watch out for subsidence cracks near take-off.

Proper thermic today, climbs to 4 up off the spine. Couple of us still up.

Bit cross and gusty this afternoon, worth waiting for it to back off after 3.
