DZJ 0 #3 September 9, 2004 Hi, if you don't mind a fairly long drive, then I'd definitely recommend the British Parachute Schools at Langar in Nottinghamshire. I just graduated with them and they have excellent instructors, a massive dropzone fast aircraft and a friendly atmosphere. Check out www.bpslangar.co.uk for more info. -Ian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigH 0 #4 September 9, 2004 Hi yeehah, I've been lurking round here for a while but only recently registered and this is my first post (so I'm a newbie too I guess if you live in the South East then Headcorn is your nearest DZ?!? You may already have this info, but if not the following URL shows you all the BPA DZ's in the UK and if you click on them you get the contact details (email/phone etc) and if they offer AFF training: http://www.bpa.org.uk/dropzone/dzone.htm I’ve done all my jumps at Hinton and the place and people are cool as. Couldn’t wish to meet a friendlier group of people, even when you turn up for your first day to do your first AFF jump. I did my AFF training with Skydive Aurora at Hinton ( http://www.skydiveaurora.co.uk/ ) and what can I say!?! Tomo pushes you pretty hard, he expects result and pushes enough that you archive them (which I need). Since my first jump at the beginning of August I’ve completed my AFF, consoles, got my FAI A license, passed my packing test, done 35 jumps in total, and started work on my getting my IC1 and FS1, and this has all been pretty much over weekends. Good luck, be safe, have fun and there’s no going back now Chris. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
