Experienced Skydivers

The Cessna has been put through rigorous use over the last 10 days.

This week 12th May - 16th May

We have tandems booked in this week, 10 on Wednesday, 4 on Thursday & 7 on Friday.

Weekend 17th - 118th May

There are 35 Tandems on Saturday and only 33 on Sunday. Again it’s not too busy this weekend, so there will be plenty of slots for AFF and experienced jumpers.

Good news..............

The Cessna Caravan is here. A blistering 12 minutes to altitude assuming no London holds. Holds are unlikely due to the fast climb rate.

Spring is now upon us and the weather is definitely improving. Warm weather jumpers are starting to emerge from hibernation. It’s still a good idea to ring us midweek, just to check the activity, but midweek activity is growing fast. Infact Wednesdays are quite busy now, due to the tandem price being a little cheaper.

The outdoor wind tunnel is fully operational all times at the weekend and after 5pm during the week. Skydiver prices have been much reduced, (£15 for 2 minutes), so make sure you get to the club to use and abuse it.

We now have our own Forum for all of you to join and leave suggestions and comments (please be sensible). Once you’ve registered you still need to join a forum. You may then post suggestions, chat online and send emails to users, etc. You need only to register with a username and password. So go do it. The link is on the home page or here.
