Rick sees some potential in the day for Herd Peak, overlooked by Mt Shaster, It is an hour south and not flown very often but might be good in the SW forecast. Base is estimated at 4000m provided we get the trigger temperature.Sounds like a great plan as we have not been down to the Shaster before so we plan for a drive across the border into Norther California.
Mt Herd belongs to a pilot who has done some serious work providing a good, clean paraglider launch.
The view to Shaster is amazing and after 20km picking through some trees over the back there is flatlands as far as the eye can see.
Lindsay - 10km
Paul - 31km
Phil - 8km
Toni - LZ
Rod - LZ
Conrad - 12km
Brian - 68km
Weather
Light SW changing W then NW, Southerly higher, 15-35kmh
Base 3200m, blue
A hard day working to get away from launch in a strong inversion which eventually broke 2 hours after launching. The trigger temperature was slow to be reached.
A site definitely worth spending more time at
