Where do I start... I did my AFF here at Beccles and I haven't looked back. I have other dropzones pretty much a stones throw away from my house but i decide to travel 2 hours just to get to Beccles, that's how awesome the place is.
The aircraft (C208) is kept in tip-top condition. It is cleaned everyday by the pilot (Ben) and serviced often. The clubies welcomed me from the 1st step I took at the dropzone. My instructors (Nader, Gavin, Tomo and Stu) were AWESOME and they made me feel completely safe and at ease. They told me exactly what to do, what to expect and what I would feel. I didn't have time to be scared!
The ladies that manifest you, try and get fun jumpers on every lift. The vibe around the dz is very good and clubbies will talk to you and jump with you if you.
The bunkhouse showers/toilets are in a very decent shape (it's only £5 a night to stay there so don't expect 5* accommodation for that price). Some peeps also love to pitch up a tent and camp which is free.
Now the down sides... Its quite far from where I live (which is not really the dz fault). The main toilets (Chemical toilets) are not the best but there are good toilets located at the cafe which is about 1 min walk. During hot weather, there tends to be quite a lot of bees/wasps around and seen as I'm allergic to them, it's no ideal.
Overall I would highly recommend to come and jump here whether it's for a tandem or AFF or fun jumping. UKPS Beccles is the place to jump
