N/A

I'm thinking of buying a place in Empuriabrava and I need a bit of help and advice. Does anyone know of any English-speaking estate agents in Empuria or anyone who's selling a place? Also, some advice on buying in Spain and what mortgage to get would be useful. I'm not sure if I'll be renting the place out to other skydivers or just buying for somewhere to stay while I'm at the dropzone…. Thanks guys. **Moggie Gifts**

Just so everyone knows, I have been ringing round different insurance companies this evening and I found out a few things: Endsleigh - it seems that Endsleigh do cover extreme sports including skydiving; however, they don't have an annual policy so that means you have to take out a new policy for every trip you go on. It is very reasonably priced though, it cost me £16.50 for a 5-day trip. AXA - no longer cover skydiving at all (as above). Sportscover direct - have a Sportsguard annual policy, which includes everything apart from repatriation (which could be incredibly costly should anything happen to you outside of Europe) at a price of £97 for Europe. The company's Ventureguard policy does cover this but at price of £250!! Harrison Beaumont - I didn't manage to contact them (they shut really early), but I think after this trip they are really the only sensible option as they do specialise in extreme sports insurance. I hope that we don't all end up having to take out ridiculously expensive insurance policies from now on!! **Moggie Gifts**

Thanks for your help. I'm thinking of going with Endsleigh as it includes repatriation and that's the expensive bit. I'm just a bit annoyed as I paid £80 last year with AXA and Endsleigh costs £126! It's just another expense to add to my already costly trip.... **Moggie Gifts**

I went to renew my annual travel insurance today only to find that AXA no longer covers skydiving, apparently it is one of the exceptions in the company's 'extreme' sports package. Does anyone have any recommendations for an alternative company that offers insurance including repatriation? I wonder what the implications of this will be for those who currently hold AXA travel insurance policies, will they be covered? **Moggie Gifts**

Hi, A few people meet up every now and again. To get on the London skydivers mailing list run by caz click the link under this post. **Moggie Gifts**

For 2005 I'd like to be able to: -embrace skydiving more and not get so angry with myself everytime I do something wrong. -to realise that sometimes when people are telling you about how amazing their skydiving is I'd like to not just see that as bragging and try to congratulate people on their achievements. -I'd like to get the confidence to ask people especially instructors questions. -land on my feet -Be more open and willing to learn things rather than try to do things on my own!! -And try to have fun, it seems I have forgotten the reason why I did it in the first place!! -Buy a larger canopy. anyone got a spectre 170 they want to sell? (in the UK). **Moggie Gifts**

I thought you were anti wind tunnels? **Moggie Gifts**

Just coz I'm really bored, this is a picture of me and my friend roland and me and Tim (my boyfriend) at Empuriabrava. **Moggie Gifts**

Here's my jav **Moggie Gifts**

Australian's speak proper English, you know from that country found in EUROPE called England or as we ENGLISH like to call it the UK (that stands for United Kingdom). **Moggie Gifts**

Well said! I agree, I think that the more she is invloved in what you do the more she might understand why you do it in the first place. **Moggie Gifts**

Ah I work in Leatherhead, not too far away. Why don't you join the London skydivers list I think Reading will qualify. They all meet up for drinks every so often in London funnily enough and show off their skydiving vids (apparently, I haven't managed to make a meet yet!). http://groups.yahoo.com/group/londonskydivers/join **Moggie Gifts**

why don't you buy her a tandem for her birthday? Maybe then she'll get hooked and that will solve the problem of her worrying about you. **Moggie Gifts**

all consuming (as in your wallet and your life), refreshing (especially when you have a hang-over), breath taking, spine-tingling. **Moggie Gifts**
