So I want to travel..

[helge 0]

I have a desire to travel and experience new things summer/autumn 2006. Since traveling without my rig seems like a waste of both time and money, a few jumps would have to be included. I will also be traveling with a non-jumper (girlfriend). Obviously her interests in antennas and vertical walls are limited, so we would need something besides BASE too.. (Which leaves the potato bridge out.. Or?)

So I ask for help from fellow dropzone readers on this matter.. Where would you go? Since I live in Norway objects other than E's would be valued on such a trip..

What is the perfect location for BASE, Scuba, Skydiving, and other activities? Wouldn't mind a few lessons in a tunnel either..

Duration of the trip would be somewhere around 2-3 weeks and of course cheaper is better...

I post this in the BASE forum for obvious reasons, first of all because skydiving not all that important, and I wouldn't jump a object without contacting locals first.. (Yea, thats you..)

Thankful for any response

You should post some pictures of your girlfriend. Then we can decide if you should come visit us.

If we like her, you can go make some BASE jumps while we entertain her...

Have you considered a trip to Thailand or Malaysia (or both)?

You could try to time it to get to one of the big Malaysian events, and then spend some time seeing the sites up in Thailand, where they have (cheap) great beaches, some more jumping, diving, and generally good relaxing.

I have.. If I could get a few jumps while there Thailand would be pretty sweet.. As for the Malaysian events that would be cool, but not sure I qualify with my limited experience (~40 jumps).. Any locals from Thailand around here?

And Sean: UK is close enough to come visit every week of the year.. I tried once, but the winds kept me on the ground for the week.. Will probably make another trip before easter and give it another go..

Why not do a tour? If you're gonna be away for 2-3 weeks you might as well travel around. Why don't I list what my country (belgium) has?
3 Great A's (and a few more that are not so spectacular)
1 Loowwwww S
Some B's and O's
No E's (well...there's one. But you'll be landing in either water or trees)

and a shitload of Os

For the love of God someone PM me on what exactly those UK O's are. I'm just curious. No location or name needed...just type of object.

Tours are nice, but expensive.. However I've seen some of your objects and I wouldnt mind a trip to Belgium sometime..

And Faber, I'll contact you next time in in Denmark.. Ferry rides there are next to nothing anyway (They pretty much give away the tickets and hope you'll spend a fortune on the casino and taxfree instead..) Where in Denmark are you located?

I'd imagine that any local jumpers here (if any) would be expats. I don't personally know of any but a great starting point would be to contact Stephen Northcott - [email protected] He is a very chilled out & helpful British guy that has pretty much built up from scratch & is now running the whole skydiving show in Thailand. If there are indeed any locals around here, he will definetely be in the know.
