  1. Me and a friend (both A licence) went out there to get a few cheap jumps and suss out the place during weekdays. Prior to the trip, we sent several emails well in advance asking about acommodation etc. but heard nothing back. So we headed out with a tent just in case and arriving mid afternoon found the place completely empty. Considering there was good jumping conditions it was a bit dissapointing that they had packed up so early. Even though we were there weekdays, we were expecting a few more regulars to show up but all that came through were tandems. We pitched our tent for the duration of our stay and were charged a little over £2 pppn. The DZ got a lot busier on Wed afternoon when the L410 was flying, but it would have been great if they were doing loads from the morning instead of at 2pm. All the loads running up to 5 or 6pm were full up by noon, so get there in the morning if you want to get on a few jumps. The DZ only seemed to have a short 3-5 hour window when they were jumping each day which meant we didn't get as many jumps as hoped, but you can't expect it to be heaving with jumpers all week. There were a couple of people around who were really helpful at giving some coaching tips which was good. I would really recommend renting a car while here. Althouhg public transport can get you within 15mins walk or something like that, having a car made it so much easier getting around and nipping into town to get supplies etc. We got one through our airline (Jet2.com) for a little over £12 per day!! As said, Prague is about 40min drive away so we popped in after jumping each day since the DZ was rather quiet. All in all the DZ is a friendly and exciting place, (we had some language problems so a phrase book might be an idea) and I would recommend vsiting there. It was a shame we weren't ther on the weekend because I'm sure it would really pick up then.
