Paragliding 128a: Incredibly sketchy flight from Plose to Lüsen (1/3)

This flight pissed me off majorly, haha.
Tandem dude told me to fly to highest point of Plose, rise above 3.000m, then switch over to the Astjoch behind Lüsen, then rise above 3.000m again and you can go switch over to "Pfunderer Berge".
Little did we know that Astjoch was a literal nightmare on that particular day. Even though I managed to get above 3.100m on Plose and was easily able to switch over to Astjoch, it was impossible to gain height there. Instead I had a sink rate of up to 5m/s and basically zero forward-movement due to very high wind speeds. That's why I was forced to land in the Lüsen valley, which is not a great experience during this time of day, due to strong valley winds.
In the end everything turned out fine and I only had to wait for the bus back to Brixen for 5min.

Die Strecke Plose zur Lüsener Alm bin ich auch schon 3 mal geflogen und ich bin die linke Flanke lang und habe dann das Tal gequert. Aber ich wusste auch wo es in Lüsen dann hoch geht :-)

Ja, muss irgendeinen groben Fehler im Lüsener Tal gemacht haben. War der erste Versuch und die Tandems haben mir versprochen, da geht es immer hoch, man muss nur mit über 3.000m von der Plose rüberfliegen. Aber ging ja nochmal gut aus :D
