Chilly day at Cliffside (almost 3 hrs) 12/7/16

We had great time and at Cliffside today. Four hangs and approx 6 bags came out to fly the chilly air and everyone soared. The paragliders session was over around 1:00pm due to the strong winds. The sky was blue with a few scattered clouds and plenty of sunshine , smooth ridge lifts and thermals .....etc. We all punch off from the paragliding launch. The ground temperatures was about 29 F and 23 F above the windmills at 3000ft AGL. I launched at 11:20am and landed at 2:00pm (almost made it to 3 hrs). I landed because after over 2 and a half hours of airtime, my legs were becoming stiff and couple of my fingers slight loss of feeling due to the cold air. All four of us (Jonathon, Nat, Mark R and myself) landed by the river in really strong and gusty ESE winds. It feel like blowing 20-30mph gusts by the river. Everyone had a good landing.
