Kiakambala 0 #7 January 20, 2009 i did a tandem there in april 2007 with andy page, it was out of the nomad. i dont know if they still have it. i think the guy who filmed the jumps name was stuart murtha. I am looking at possibly doing an AFF jump there again soon like within the next month Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy_Copland 0 #8 January 20, 2009 The Geordie and Andy the rigger. They have their own aircraft now thats very very nice looking from the pics i saw. Cessna Caravan (not sure if its a grand or not, not been there in a while) I like the place, if you are serious about AFF its a good place to go with a good club atmosphere. Id highly recommend them.1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiakambala 0 #9 January 20, 2009 i no for sure i want to do AFF but being the age i am (17 but im 18 on the 22nd of this month) right now im having to shell out money left right and centre and only having a weekend job makes it hard to stash the cash for the full course. If i can get the money though it will be done this year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scoop 0 #12 January 20, 2009 UK Parachuting rocks. I travel half way across the country to jump there (on the rare occasion I'm jumping these days) even though I got a DZ within spitting distance of my house. The place has a good vibe and club feel.
