| Strange flight, some sank out I went up at a rate of knots then proceeded to sink out quickly never getting back up again even though I went through some thermals. Landed hard and felt the thud on my ankles but all good. |

| Beautiful late evening flight from North Launch. Worked some very light lift on the West ridge. Got up from 1300 to 1550 which was pretty impressive. Fun skirting 50 ft above the trees for 1/2 hr or so. |

| West Lake to work. Drizzle and a bit lethargic. Flatted again and only had a bust tube. Lucky I had 1 patch left so all good. This is the 2nd set tyres I've gone through this year. |

| Pretty naff bike home. Skinned my shin on the cleat, 2 cleat screws fell off and couldn't get my foot out of the clip and there was a nasty headwind. Also tired.
Boo-hoo... |

| Got my paraglider bag carried up in someones truck so I was free to run up myself - nice not to have the weight for a change. |

| Blew launch and got lifted and spun - oops. 2nd attempt was good and I headed out. Wind was 0-12 and gusty which was not great. Got to 2000ft but was getting hacked all over the place. Stuck it out for another 10 mins before calling it quits and heading home while above launch. Was a bit outside my comfort zone so glad I came down, always next time. |

| Ran up Poo-Poo at 8:15pm with the mountain wing to see what time I could do. 23:40 to South and another 3 to North. Fast enough for a hike and fly speed title if I could get down to LZ quickly. |

| Nice flight off the South at sunset. Expected a sledder but got nice soaring off the south cliffs. Had to come down as it was getting dark! Landed long again with the Dudek, the harness is difficult to maneuvre but not really sure what I'm doing wrong. All good though. |

| HIke up Poo-Poo (5AM on top!) with the Paraglider pack - mountain wing. Was intending to do a BIG day with multiple hike-n-flys from Tiger but the wind was too East to be safe. Time includes hike back down again. Bummer as I waited for 1 3/4 hrs up there too. I'll try later in the day |

| OMFG, what an amazing flight. Up around 2700ft getting boosted by thermal bullets. Wing handled great and even though there were probably 3 dozen pilots I was able to get enough airspace. Straight off launch I sank to 1200ft and thought I was a goner for the day. Caught a bullet at 5-600ft/min up to 2700ft or so. Bloody amazing to be shooting skywards at that speed. The vario was beeping like crazy! Views of Rainier from up there were astounding, over the the Olympic peninsula mountains and obviously the cascades. F'in brilliant!
Only reason I came down was that I had to get back for fathers day + I was really thirsty. I must take the camera and you tube the video next time its that good. |
