  1. This is definatly the cheapest DZ in the UK for everyone. If your team trains there enough your jumps can go down to as little as £14/jump from 15000 every time.

    Very well organised and never any waiting time. CCI and instructors always willing to talk to you, no matter what level you're at. The 15000 makes it great for any students there, plenty of practice time in the air. They are welcoming of students from any DZ that have done at least 1 jump previously, with with BOC or ROL deployment.

    Excellent lift capacity with the 10 place Finnist running during the week with a 15 place dornier if it gets busy enough, with both running at weekends. The minimum load is 4, which makes for some speedy and roomy climbs to 15000 :)

    The only problem I have heard of is during the week, phone up in advance to make sure others are going to be there, or turn up with 4 people and pre warn them. 2 of my friends went here once and there was no pilot.

  2. Peterlee use to be a small DZ but with the introduction of a new bar, bunkhouse and TurboLet 410 13000 feet can be reached in around ten people. The only problem is as it has expanded so quickly there are few people about so there are fewer lifts in the Let than most DZs (about 10 a day) but this means you dont have to wait long to be put on a lift. You can be up and down all day without any waiting around.
