raincatcher

Problems started as soon as I tryed to get in side the airfeild gates.( Nethers is a millitary dropzone ) I encountered bad, undiplomatic and pedantic attitudes from the airfeild police who seemed to enjoy making it hard for me to get through the front door! Arriving at the airfeild andTrying to find the main offices alowed me to meet some of the most misreable dropzone staff Ive met in a long while. Afterspending 2 hours, soking up the most negative environment imagineable and basicaly being neglected by the office staff, I decided that neathers is probably not the dropzone for me. Didn't even get the rig outta its bag. Shame. I can only sympathise with the local jumpers who have to endure such a slow and unmotivated parachute operation. I think this is a shame really as it is one of the closer DZs and Looks like it could be a good place, but I for one am not going through half hour of aggrevation just getting on the camp, to sit and drink expensive tea. It looks like I will be enduring the drive up north to jump in the future.

Thanks everybody for your posts! It seems that Freeflying is alive and well in the UK just a little out of site and out of mind. I will check out UK freefly for more info. Thanks again everyone. "shanizle ma whnizle" Snoop dog

Where do most of the freeflyers in the UK congregate? Ive been mostly trying to find a coach working at one of the southern DZs in the UK but to no avail. Id really like to get my head up flying sorted before I go out to empuria this summer. "shanizle ma whnizle" Snoop dog
