    This drop zone has always seemed a bit on the quiet side every time Ive visited. Maybe I should give it a try when theres a boogie on. So Ive never stayed the night or done more than two jumps per visit. So I can'nt tell you about vibe of the place. But I can tell you it has a good shop located here for all your skydiving needs. The riggers go the extra mile to make sure your kit is A1, if you put it in to get serviced. And the aircraft (G92) is so fast altituded that your jumping out the door in no time at all. And its open 7 days a week.

    I have my own (very cheap) second hand gear to put 200 jumps on before I buy something more permanent, so I won't bang on about hire gear or raps courses like the last few reviews. I visited this dz in the summer of 2011 and lended up staying the whole weekend in my tent. Great vibe, hot showers and good enough canteen. They coped amazingly well with the manifest and the one aircraft they use. Infact that weekend they smashed all previous records held for the most lifts in one day. So there was no shortage of lifts and only encouragement to jump on more. Big welldone to the French pilot. There was all a fancy dress event, disco and BBQ on during my stay. Although there is no bar at this dz, there is a help your self beer fridge. And the beer fines are rife to keep it topped up. So if you have a cut away, gain a FS1 qual or its your first time at this dz don't forget a crate of 24 for the fridge. Im sure you get the picture...

    Im quite supprised the (BPA) British Parachute Assiociation bothered to do a 3 page write up about this dropzone, in a 2011 issue of there skydive magazine. As its a tandem factory only, I went down to have a look on a curious note. When I arrived, I got told its not really a DZ for sports skydivers. It would cost £100 for membership and I would have to book 3 weeks prior per jump. Then I was directed to Netheravon which caters for both tandems and sports skydiving. I hope Ive saved the more curious the time and trouble and possibly a wasted journey...
