skreamer 1 #26 February 4, 2002 Hate to be on Emma's (quite considerable) side on anything, but....Hinton is also the ONLY dropzone in the UK that subsidizes coaching for beginners. You only pay for half the coach's slot, the DZ pays the rest. This includes briefs, de-briefs and video. WARP coaching is subsidized up to and including your FS1 4-way qualification dive. And, freefly coaching is subsidized at the same rates. Any other DZs in the UK where you pay a grand total of £24 for a 2-way coaching dive? Anyone? Anyone? Thought not....BTW I made 50 or so jumps at Langar and it is a really nice place - I'm sure you'll like it there.Will"Don't die until you're dead" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R00tj00se 0 #34 February 4, 2002 Hold on a minute there - where did this Elsinore for 3 months thing come from???? This is the sort of thing you dream about around the bonfire while sipping at your Corona (spit, spit). You don't actually live the dream, baby.

skreamer 1 #35 February 4, 2002 hmmm, then I suppose you don't want to hear about the new packing 'pavilion' that is planned for later this year, Remi?Gee, its going to be so rough packing in that air-conditioned, carpeted, DRY pavilion.... On the landing area side it is going to have a little stand for the groundhogs to spectate from. You do know about the new dedicated team training room, don't you? Available to ANYBODY who wants to debrief (flat or free). Hinton's facilities are great and getting better all the time!

robellis 0 #36 February 4, 2002 Langar boogie was awsome last year - 10 way freefly going on, tracking every sunset load. With the isntructors there (who regularly organise at other EU DZ boogies) you are sure to have a great time.Should be tubes, streamers and lots of video there this time. Oh and more beer than ever from Chuckles (www.chucklesbar.co.uk).Everyone is welcome at this cool DZ. And any Hinton ppl who want some cheap jump tickets, I still have a few left over from the Multiplane event in August 01.Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R00tj00se 0 #39 February 4, 2002 I jumped at Langar for a couple of years getting thro RAPS. Does Chris Winder still jump there - I did see pics of him SkySurfing.And what happened to mad Matt who used to work in the kitchen a couple of years ago. He did freefly stuff and I think he might have gone of travelling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
