London Skydivers

Recommended Posts

Yeah I'm a londoner who's only just caught up with this thread!

I often go to Hinton or Langar depending on my urge to burn down the motorway (be it on 2 or 4 wheels :p)

Has there already been a big London meet?

The BCPA trip this year did a big London meet before going to Elsinore - it was hillarious - and a great way to make the trip less awkward... Since I was the only "veteran" BCPA tripper I got nicely fueled on beer for my stories. All in all a great Laugh ;)

I reckon it'd be fun to have a nice meet up now the weather's nice :)

Anybody going up to the Nats? If they want a lift I can offer one - and I'll take the car not the bike :p

I'm also going up to BK for Beth's 21st if anyone is interested too.

So it's OK to post it then?
Maybe I should ask the opinion of the other person involved... :$

Generally speaking, dropzones in the UK are pretty quiet during the week, you get students and tandems there, but not a lot of fun jumpers due to the horrible 'w' word (work :().

Plus there aren't actually any dz's in London, you need to travel outside to visit one. There are a few people who have posted on here that jump at the various nearer-London dz's (Hinton, Headcorn, Chatteris, Netheravon, Sibson)- they can probably give you better advice on what goes on at those specific dropzones during the week.

Skydiving much around London midweek could be tricky… you could try Headcorn but as with a lot of UK DZs mid-week a lot will depend on how many tandems they have booked in. :S

If you want a great vibe and a pretty cool party, you could drive up to Hibaldstow – it will take you 3 to 4 hours. The 4-way Nationals is on that weekend and finishes on Monday 2nd. The party would be worth it alone! ;) The 8-way and Artistic Nationals is the following weekend and I daresay there’ll be quite a few people around in the week between the two. :)
Just a thought!

Less than a month until the Nationals - eek!!! Are you going this year Vicki? I'll be there the Thursday before until Monday 2nd.

So, yeah, great idea... Come to Hib! Last year we finished the competition on Sunday and spent Monday fun jumping... Yup, finished the comp in *2 days*!!! Hib sure knows how to host a competition - and definitely knows how to throw a good party! :)
