- My very first flight from Saint-André-les-Alpes!
Wind was S so the idea was to get to Montclar but I knew coming back was probably not possible. Also forecast was spot on with overdevelopments in the afternoon.
Right after the first 3000m on the Chalvet, I was then alone the whole way (no other paraglider). I only saw a few sailplanes. But conditions were great.
Before deciding to end the flight, i was ~2900m near cloudbase with 50% speedbar facing south wind and I was going up 0.5m/s, 1m/s, 1.5m/s... 🚨Too easy and less and less blue... Several congestus were popping up, one was raining near St André, it was definitely time to get down.

Amazing flight for me. I also learned a lot with that emergency landing experience during overdevelopment. - Sport
Good decision to land!
Posé à Verdaches on dirait ?!
Yes. Attention le réseau Orange n'y passe pas. Mais des locaux m'ont gentillement dépannés !
@@ThibaultROHMER Oui, bien perdu là bas😂
Je suis de Digne à la base, je posais souvent Verdaches quand je faisais le Blayeul en rando vol🤗
