Spiracom 0 #1 June 8, 2004 After posting in "Meets and Greets" was suggested I post here. I am new to sport and looking to contact/meet up with any London based skydivers. Want to start jumping here regularly but looking for advice re: DZ/Gear/Progression etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steph2 0 #8 June 8, 2004 I jump at Headcorn in Kent. Lots of Londoners jump there, so if you don't meet them on-line, come to the DZ and meet them (and me!) there! Steph -x- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjiimmyyt 0 #9 June 8, 2004 Hi Are you the Tony who was in Lake Wales in November? "This isn't an iron lung, people. You can actually disconnect and not die." -Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spiracom 0 #10 June 8, 2004 Yeah, that's right, on the Mong Boogey with Darbs. You would be James then. I was going to do May but wife wanted to go scuba diving instead as AFF frightened the life out of her, so thought I would instead do the Aug or Nov in Lake Wales this year or maybe both. How you getting on, what is up with Jersey? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjiimmyyt 0 #11 June 8, 2004 Hope you and the missus are good. Great time in Lake Wales. You still inducing line twists at 1000 ft? Jersey is cool, no jumping so far this year, will be starting on July the 8th (now under BPA regs), boogie planned for around September if you are interested? "This isn't an iron lung, people.

Spiracom 0 #12 June 8, 2004 Sounds good. Please let me have details of the Sep event. Since I saw the photos from last year I really liked the idea of landing on the beach. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjiimmyyt 0 #13 June 8, 2004 Dates are 27 Aug - 2 Sep for the Jersey Turbine Boogie "Simmer Time Boogie II". Plane should be something like a Let, hopefully also some kind of chopper as well. For more details see www.skydivejersey.net/forum Hope to see you there. If you need help/info re places to stay give me a shout. "This isn't an iron lung, people.

Steph2 0 #17 June 23, 2004 So, where have you settled in the UK? Did you check out all those DZ's you mentioned in your last post? I hope you've found somewhere nice to jump - even though you completely ignored my suggested DZ Steph -x- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caz 0 #23 June 24, 2004 Quote Craig P used to have an email list he would send out with a tima and place... yeah but we're not that organised! Not sure who Craig P is, but its probably a nice idea to start a mailing list of London jumpers. Theres a lot of us who live here and it could be quite a nice social thing.

caz 0 #25 June 24, 2004 I thought you lived 'oop north' ? are you sure you strictly qualify as a 'London skydiver'? anyway I'm not sure if I want the responsibility of being a secretary, I'm not very organised, Zeemax where are you, you're good at this kind of crap. Plus you're the biggest London based post whore on here. ~~~ London Skydivers ~~~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
