CJK 0 #1 September 1, 2005 Hi All, Does anybody have recommendations for skydiving in Ireland? I'm in Cork and brought my own rig with. There does not seem to be a big selection of dropzones here so if you've jumped here and liked a specific dz, drop me a line. CheerGrounded?!?!?! Whadda ya mean I'm "GROUNDED"?!?!?!?!

Greene 0 #2 September 1, 2005 Do not know is Cork is Northern Ireland, or southern Ireland, however, Wild Geese is in Northern Ireland. Skies blue SGC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,990 #3 September 1, 2005 IPC is a great place; I've jumped there a few times. About an hour west of Dublin in Clonbullogue. Only problem is that it's hard to keep up with how much they drink. I had to run away a few times to keep from getting alcohol poisoning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob.dino 1 #5 September 1, 2005 To the best of my knowledge, that's the only sport DZ in the Republic. More details. They don't appear to answer queries sent through their website, so you should probably call. Apparently, the landing area contains sheep. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daveom 0 #7 September 2, 2005 QuoteApparently, the landing area contains sheep. Indeed it does!! The only sheep in Ireland who have learned to look up... Trying to creep up on one while landing is good fun. You should see them go when they eventually spot you! The IPC just got the new Porter running yesterday, and will be jumping it this weekend.

conor 0 #8 September 3, 2005 Check out http://www.thepai.ie/PAI/index.html for centres affiliated to the PAI. The IPC is the biggest one, but GoSkydive and The National Parachute Centre (Falcons) may be closer to you. The Wild Geese is in Northern Ireland and would be quite a distance for you to travel.
