AllyMilne 0 #9 June 17, 2004 i dont think there is a website. Suffice to say there gogi nto be a load of brits headed out, with a string scottish contingent. Cheap beer, cheap jumps, big plane, sunshine. All the stuff that doesnt happen in scotland! Spoke to a few folk who have been before and they said it was the best boogie they go to all year and those are the folk that always go out year after year. If anyone is reading this and has been before give us some more detials. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AllyMilne 0 #13 June 17, 2004 Eh dunno? Wouldnt have thought so, not a BPA dropzone and all that. Just rememeber to get travel insurance. Theres a thread about it on uk.rec.skydiving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vt1977 0 #14 June 17, 2004 Quote Edit: Am I going to need BPA memebrship coming from the UK?... I've been saving that 105 quid... Your BPA membership covers you for 3rd party, worldwide except for the USA and Canada. I would strongly advise that if you are skydiving abroad ANYWHERE that you take out travel insurance. I'm pretty sure that my travel insurance (with AXA) covers me 3rd party world wide (would need to double check - but as I have BPA and USPA membership I am covered 3rd party anyway). My AXA insurance, worldwide, annual set me back around £120 this year. If you would prefer to get single trip insurance (although if you are going abraod more than twice in a year, this will probably not be cost efficient), you could try Harrison Beaumont. Provided you have travel insurance that covers you for skydiving and you check the small print that it covers you 3rd party as well as everything else, you should be fine. But double check with the DZ/Boogie organisers! Vicki NB If you buy your AXA insurance online be sure to choose the dangerous/hazardous sports option or you won't be covered for any of this!

altichick 1 #15 June 17, 2004 I had problems getting cover for my trip but in the end found that http://www.columbusdirect.com/ were by far the best for multi-country skidiving cover and had no limit on the amount of jumping (several other copmpanies would only cover if skydiving was <25% of the trip or under a ceratin number of jumps) Don't sweat the petty things... and don't pet the sweaty things!
