You'll love Boogie 2! It's going to probably be the biggest boogie in Europe this year. Currently there are 2x Caravans, 1x Beech 99, 2x Skyvans and the possibility of some more to come. Langar is by far the UK's busiest DZ.
Hopefully I'll be down from Scotland (if I can get off uni) and join in the action.
Team ASBO will be there, no surprises there really, as it's our home dropzone and we live 20 minutes away, how handy !
we will be mostly tracking and breaking british ATMO records ( we hope !! )
the Beech 99 (AKA the millenium falcon ) ROCKS!!!, my neptune now asks me if we got on a bus by mistake, 20 minutes to 13,500?? i prefer seeing 8 minutes to 15,000..! yeah baby !!
see ya'll there..
oh by the way, Bullet freefly are organising at Cark 12th-13th August, and we'll be there too.
Unfortunately I am very busy with Uni, and I'll be only in the last weekend........hope the weather would be Ok and we'll make lot of jumps and see the Brit-122!!!!!! But any news from the first weekend??? I much appreciate it, the forecast was superb! How many lifts on Saturday??? I remember in first 2006 boogie were 55 lifts in the first day!!!!!!!!!!!with only one Skyvan. Does anybody knows if the Bell 206 will make any appear and which day?
I've just got back from my weekend at Langar, so far the news would be:
A very cool 16-way competition A new UK POPS record 33-way Lots of Skyvan jumps.
Also some minor incidents: 1 reserve pilotchute fire in a Skyvan (fortunately contained) 1 dislocated shoulder in freefall 1 collision between a jumper landing and a jumper on the ground (only minor bruising AFAIK)
First...the jumps were a blast and had lots of fun. Crew got their 16 way in, POPs broke the record twice, and the weather was great.
HOWEVER: This did not have the boogie feel nor manifesting of a boogie. It felt like it was a bigway meeting at a local DZ that people were invited to come and play if wanted. Loads took wwwwaaaayyyyy to long to get onto and the big ways were catered too. Not saying I didnt have a great time or that I wont be back next weekend....and hopefully next weekend will be better, but it def. wasnt a boogie.

BUT WHAT A BLAST REGARDLESS!!!!
I will go with Billy on the manifesting front far too long on load turn around times Like Billy i enjoyed myself but it did seem geared towards bigway stuff . Not what i expected from one the larger dz in the UK.
and breaking british ATMO records ( we hope !! )

hopefully see you there
