This is my longest and best Paragliding XC flight with EN-A glider. I finally set a new cross country PR! This XC flight was really not easy. Flying cross country with an EN-A paraglider is more difficult than flying with a higher classified wing. Paragliding xc at its finest!

FLIGHT DETAILS:
Time - 1h 17 Min
Highest Altitude - 2012 Meters
Max. Speed - 45.8 km/h
XC Distance - 20 km
I finally managed to successfuly reach the destination on this flight. I tried a couple of times to fly between these 2 take off sites, but I was somehow never able to find on the way, a strong enough thermal to lift me back up, in order for me to fly further. This time I reached a bit over 2000 meters over the take off mountain and went on this (for me) epic and longest XC paragliding flight.
After take off, I managed to reach the highest point of this flight and started my journey. It is not easy to fly this course, because the thermals aren't often strong or reliable enough and on top of that, I am flying an EN-A paraglider (Mescal 5) which is really not the best wing to fly XC with. It is trial and error!
