I arrived at launch about 1 to find the paragliders all in he air with the last PG about to launch conditions were light. When I was ready things were even lighter with winds north. Gary decided to bail on the day. I waited till just before two as the para gliders sunk out. Saw one para glider make. A low save and decided to give it a go. Launched into sink. About half way to the Lz I managed to get inconsistent lift for about 15 minutes and then landed in the bridge field. The paragliders folks gave me a ride up to get my car so I went back to give it a second try. By the time I was ready conditions had improved for hang gliding but too much for the paragliders. Managed fifty minutes in inconsistent lift be fore landing in the bridge field. Only got to 800 over. Wind were very north along the ridge.

Matt gave me a ride back up to get my car. Thanks for the help.

Still was a great day.
