Patrick,

Paragliding as the kit can be carried on your back.

Try trucking a heavy cumbersome handglider up a hill and it'll be more then you knees that are hurting!
PGs offer better landing options as well so maybe less of a walk back!

If you don't want any walking then try paramotoring!

Cheers,

-T
