Flight details:
A nice week with XTC and Passion paragliding in Ager, flyable most days, though not always as good as hoped.  Brett set a task with landing at Tremp.  I really struggled time and time again to get a chance to go over the back in ascending, or at least not too much descending, air.  Finally decided to go, only to hit heavy sink just behind the ridge.  I was sure that I was doomed to land at the foot of the reverse slope.  But the sink relented, and I was just able to get to a small bowl, and work it for a while.  Finally made it to the castle hill and then got a 1200m climb which allowed me to glide to goal.
