Don't land at a paramotor at new flying site in poor light. And make sure you survey it well before taking off. Looking back at the video now it's obvious I should have come in from the north side of the field and not the west, and come in low over the hedge on that side to landed on the flat top part of the field. Because of the poor light I couldn't see the wind sock and once over the lz I discovered the wind was now from the south and not the east. Didn't realise how much it sloped down towards the hedge on that side of the field!
