Location of swooping tips

[rustik 0]

Guys,
have 670+ jumps, been on a spectre 135 loading 1.4 for quite a while and pulling off nice surfs (IMHO). Am now looking for more and have bought the Katana 120 following demo-ing it in february.
I would like to develop my swoop skills in a safe manner, so far I am self taught, doing the 180 turn by eye not using a neptune, if low I bail early and have a carving surf into wind, if high, well so what it was high, at least it was safe?! Anyone know a location of site where there is a write up or similar on canopy swooping. I intend to take in a swooping seminar sometime this year, unfortunately they don't make it to the north of Scotland too often!

thanx guys

I just bin on the Brian Germain seminar and that was awesome. He has also written a book " The Parachute and its Pilot"
on the topic and it's very good you can buy it on http://www.bigairsportz.com

Chris lynch is running a wingtips and swoop seminar on the 1st and 2nd of July at Skydive St. Andrews I think....
....maybe worth a shot?

I went to the wingtips last year and was pretty good...thinking of going to learn some stuff at the swoop seminar and do the wingtips again this year :)


EDIT: Here's a link to a recent-ish thread about it
