It's hard to put into words the experience I had back in Easter; from the help (and extreme patience) of the staff to the actual experience of jumping out of an aeroplane at 15,000 feet it was a hell of a half week out in sunny spain. The actual training was done very thoroughly by various members of the Addicts team (mostly Lamorna "patience of a saint" Harpin, I must add) - all of whom were extremely helpful and open to my constant nagging questions - and in what seemed like no time at all, I was at the dropzone staring into the plane and doing exiting drills. They were exciting as well, by the way. The great thing about the WHOLE team is that they welcomed me into their house (their Penthouse house, I hasten to add!) and, although they were also looking after more experienced skydivers they still had 100% of their time dedicated to me and my worries/questions. This was also mirrored on the Dropzone itself on jump day - with great organisational skills (amnd what must ave seemed like endless jumps for them) they managed to get me to AFF Level 2 (probably the most I could have handled in my first day on a Dropzone) on what became a windy, cloudy day while at the same time making numerous jumps with other clients and getting them their Formation Levels. And that's just the day job! An evening with Mike "It's all good" Worthington and Barry "007" Maple at Giant Haystacks (BBQ steaks and other delicious meat) followed by a few beers down the Boxer Bar is second to none. All in a day's work for them it seems...! If you are a complete novice and fancy a go or an experienced skydiver, I can't think of anywhere better to spend a few days/week that with the guys from Freefall Addicts; I plan to go over again at Easter (nothing else takes the mind off teaching quite so well!) so I may see you there. I'll be the northern lad holding the beer with a stupid grin all over my face after a day's jumping. Thank you all for a great experience
