With light NW wind reports from White Mountain and forecast wind to swing South in the late afternoon, I headed to Big Collin at 4pm. On arrival the wind was less than 5mph and SSW in direction.
I made a leisurely trip to the top with my paraglider and laid it out for a flight. Taking my time I realised that the wind direction was slowly changing so that over the next half hour or so it gradually came round to the SE and increased slightly but still making no more than 10mph at times.
I eventually took off and got in a few soaring beats - never more than about five feet above takeoff and landed beside the car and got packed up before dark.
