CH123 0 #36 August 31, 2012 Quote DZ Moorsele - Great DZ, find Ronny the rigger, he's good people DZ Schaffen Skydive Center Spa - Find Jimmy & Muad in the gear store, the'll look after you The DZ closest to Chievres will probably be Cerfontaine: http://www.skydivecerfontaine.be/nl/pros_dropzone_nl.html For Moorsele, Schaffen and Zwartberg, check http://www.pcv.be/en/welcome For Hoevenen: http://www.paraclubhoevenen.net For Spa: http://www.skydivespa.be and then there's Temploux, but I've never been there so not sure if they have a website.

davjohns 1 #38 September 1, 2012 :( Looks like the nearest dz is two hours away? Old one was 45 minutes. Rats. But it looks like it's a really cool dz. As soon as I find a place to live and have my stuff delivered, I'll be heading that way. Still have to find out how far it is to the lz. Going into Brussels today with my sponsor and his family. Should be fun. Thanks for all of the help!I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

CH123 0 #39 September 1, 2012 Quote Looks like the nearest dz is two hours away? Old one was 45 minutes. Isn't Chievres to the north of Mons - Bergen ? It shouldn't be more than a 1 hour and 10 minutes drive ? On the other hand, Moorsele is only 10 KM's more in total, but the greater part of your route will be over highways, so that one is only one hour away.

davjohns 1 #43 September 1, 2012 It is quite close to Mons. Mapquest says Spa is two hours away. I'll find out.
