Strong wind on launch then thermelled quite quickly to 3800 feet dropped to 3600 left the hill flew XC across the town of Treorchy to the next ridge spent a good 45 minutes looking for a good enough climb above the Windmills at one point nearly had enough to get away but didn't quite make it but eventually got to low, stuck between another Paraglider and the the trees I had to land.
