jahk 0 #14 May 3, 2004 I think I'm about 170 miles laterally. Interestingly, I'm more than a mile *up* from the DZ. Yep, I live above pull altitude. And have the hemoglobin to prove it.

nael 0 #16 May 3, 2004 About an hour and 15 minutes if I go straight there and dont pick up friends on the way. I'll get the number of km's tomorrow - I am taking the day off work to jump, cant wait. Went out there yesterday but it was so windy most of the experienced jumpers werent even jumping, so I had no chance, but I spent the day learning to pack, so now my hands/arms and even legs are sore from packing again and again and again, but I am confident with it now!
