  2. I've just got back from Skane, i went to their Midsummer Boogie, It was awesome,
    www.skydiveskane.se

    You can fly to Copenhahen, Denmark and the get a train to Kristianstad and then a cab to the DZ.

    Really nice people and a good group of Freeflyers to jump with if that's what you're into,
    otherwise there were more than enough FS jumpers including 'Team 42' The national team and Bodyflight World Challenge winners of Bronze.

  3. Heya,

    www.skydiveweston.com

    Easy to get to, straight up the M40 and off at Junction 9, follow the signs to Weston-on-the-Green.

    There are quite a few people in London that jump at Weston and may be able to give you a lift there, otherwise you can get a Bus to Oxford or a train to Bicester, then it's just a short cab ride.

    Maybe see you soon :-)

  4. Is there anybody from the UK going to 'Midsummer Boogie' at Skåne, Sweden?
    www.skydiveskane.se

    I'm having difficulty getting transport from Malmo (Sturup) Airport to the DZ
    My flight get's in on the 23rd June at 22:05 and at the moment it looks like it's going to take 4 hours to get there, and it's only meant to be one hour away,

    Can anyone help or come up with other options?
    I can't get a rental car because you need to have a Credit Card.

    Thanks!

  11. The only input i can give is that my Vengeance 135 packs into a Javelin J1 just as firm as my previous Safire 149,
    And that when you've landed, it's like walking back with an Air Bed! It doesn't deflate easily

  14. I've just spent a week at Z-Hills and i've gotta say i had alot of fun and EC Freefly are excellent guys to jump with, They organised some really nice jumps and introduced me to a bit of VRW which was pretty cool,

    If anyones going to Z-Hills and doesn't know who their gonna jump with then i'd recommend checking the EC Freefly guys out for some fun jumps or coaching.

  18. Okay, cool,

    Next problem,
    Where is there to stay? there are no Trialers available until the Sunday so i have two nights homeless, At the moment i'm thinking a tent would be the way to go.

    My original plan for accomodation and transport have both fallen through.
