arni999 0 #1 May 7, 2006 Ok, I have not jumped for nearly a year now but since i have decided to do AFF again, all i can think about is jumping out of planes! Problem is, i want to jump now but my course (in Spain) isnt until the 8th of July which is like 9 weeks away. I even have a little countdown timer on my desktop and it is currently saying '61 days, 9 hours, 55 minutes and 50 seconds' until the course. LOL I do have 20 minutes at Bedford wind tunnel booked for the week before but even that is 8 weeks away. The problem is, i'm normally a very sporty and active individual but since booking the course i am finding that all i'm doing is sitting here in front of my laptop reading various threads here on DZ.com and watching skydive movies from skydivemovies.com. What am i to do? i feel it has gripped me like a disease again! lmao I thought about going to my soon to be new DZ at langar but then realised that might actually just frustrate me even more. So... Anybody got any suggestions! I think if i sit here every evening and weekend before jumping ill go crazy!

katzurki 0 #2 May 7, 2006 Unbook course in Spain and go to your soon to be new DZ at Langar and sign up for AFF right there on the spot? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arni999 0 #3 May 7, 2006 haha, that would be one option but i tried AFF in the UK last year and it was taking forever because of the weather. So now i have decided that the fastest way to get my licence will be somewhere with *almost* constant good weather Mikey ------------------------------------------ Fear Is Weakness Leaving Your Body Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katzurki 0 #4 May 7, 2006 Book somewhere closer, sooner, and cheaper. Russia comes to mind for one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arni999 0 #5 May 7, 2006 Well i've just checked the prices for Russia and you are certainly correct on one matter, it is cheaper. Unfortunately Russia is a lot further away than spain! lol I must say though, Russia is definateley on my 'countries to visit' list Mikey ------------------------------------------ Fear Is Weakness Leaving Your Body Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danne 0 #6 May 7, 2006 Sweden is pretty cheap and has OK weather. Pretty cheap to fly to with Ryan Air aswell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrickyDicky 0 #7 May 8, 2006 Go to the DZ. Hang around. Try to get involved. Make friends. Learn to pack. Doing all this will only help your integration into the DZ when you graduate AFF, and will hopefully mean you'll have people to jump with. UK Skydiver for all your UK skydiving needs.

arni999 0 #8 May 8, 2006 I was talking to this really cute girl at work today and she said that she wants to learn to skydive so she's gonna book a course for next month at langar. Now i'll be able to go to the DZ, wtach her do her course (all be it static line) and get talking to people. Might even get a skydiving girlfriend out of it! cant be bad!
