aym011 0 #1 November 19, 2013 I have a huge jumping/tunnel trip planned for May/June 2014. But as I look online most sites don't have an english translation so I'm a little stumped on whats out there. I"ll be camper-vanning it the whole way, Starting with Amsterdam, Bottrop, Berlin, Switzerland, South France, Empuriabravia, then back up central France to fly out of Amsterdam. So lots of France! My only set destinations are The Dam (start/return), Bottrop, Berlin, and Empuriabravia. Any good DZs to recommend? Whats cheap to jump also? Anyone else done this with some good advice? Thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Uriel2728 0 #2 November 19, 2013 I highly recommend go jump, the dropzone is located in gransee, this is close to Berlin. The people there are really nice and they speak english. http://www.gojump.de/en.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Hajo 0 #3 November 19, 2013 Fehrbellin is also close to Berlin. They operate a Supervan and have every facilities a jumper needs. Friendly and englishspeaking as well.. http://www.funjump.de/skydiving_near_berlin Would be my first choice and recommendation.

Most DZ's are weekend operations only, but a couple are operating also during the week on several occasions. What kind of jumping do you do, maybe some DZ's will be more oriented towards your favorite disciplins. At least these 2 have an english version of the website : www.flying-devil.com www.epco.aero I can also recommend www.paraclub.chscissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites mchamp 1 #5 November 27, 2013 Good DZ's? Empuriabrava cheap? Moorsele belgium.....cheaper if you are a member Done with good advice? Try to do as much cooking as possible as eating out in Europe is quite expensive especially around Norway/Sweden/Denmark. Tunnel advice? Don't do more than 45min of flying a day+majority of coaches don't teach static aka no RW/HU/HD and usually teach you dynamic. Just because your body won't tire from 45min a day of dynamic doesn't mean your brain won't be completely worn. Jumping? Be positive,socialize and have fun! If you move your trip to June/July there are so many boogies happening.... freely playdate boogie in Finland beginning early July Vector Fest in France 1hr north of Lyon mid-July Hellaherb Beromünster boogie in Switzerland right after vectorfest Angle week in Nassinge Sweden same time as the Swiss boogie Flanders boogie end of July tip beginning of AugFor info regarding lift ticket prices all around the world check out http://www.jumpticketprices.com/dropzones.asp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites shorehambeach 9 #6 November 27, 2013 Skydive Royan (France - West Coast) - Me and my VW Camper spend a month there in August...right by the coast - great DZ. http://www.europhenix17.fr/en/ Camping onsite (with permission) or there are 2 campsites within 300 yards....500 yards from major supermarket. 13/14k for 22 Euro... 5 mins from the sea - You can camp by the sea if u like :-) There is a dedicated camper van overnight parking @ 7euro a night on the sea front road....

Plenty of other dz's in the Netherlands, of which Teuge (1 supervan and 1 caravan) and Texel (island DZ) are the biggest. There also is a tunnel in Roosendaal. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites b3ndech0 0 #8 November 28, 2013 in switzerland i can recommend paraclub beromünster: Jumpticket 45 CHF (36.50 Euro) Nice People, mostly Freeflyers Nice Place out in the green (posibility to camp) Open everyday while summer http://www.paraclub.ch/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites anj4de 0 #9 December 1, 2013 b3ndech0 in switzerland i can recommend paraclub beromünster: Jumpticket 45 CHF (36.50 Euro) Nice People, mostly Freeflyers Nice Place out in the green (posibility to camp) Open everyday while summer http://www.paraclub.ch/ 36.50EUR That's steep...in Germany 12000ft are availabe for a lot less!For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return. -Leonardo da Vinci Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites piisfish 140 #10 December 3, 2013 anj4de 36.50EUR That's steep...in Germany 12000ft are availabe for a lot less! this is the average price in Switz.
