| Flight details: | Rough on the Hill as the direction had gone from NNW to NNE so it wasn't much fun on the ridge so decided to go with anything when I was high enough to land safely over the back. Never managed two 360's in constant lift but it was windy so drifted 10k by the time I reached 2500ft ato, then took a glide to the ground. Had to walk over 10k back before thumbing a lift- ouch. |
