Thanks mate! I can't wait to get things started! :) booking wind tunnel courses for later on this month!

Hi mate! Welcome :) I am kind of exactly where you were last year, great to see you've kept the enthusiasm and raring to go this year! My main concern is the canopy landing and felt like I was the only one out there thinking this too! (You're not alone!) From people I have spoke to the general feeling is that it comes quite naturally once you have had the training and receive radio instructions, but clearly not to be taken for granted. Being up merseyside way, would the Black Knights be your DZ choice? (Where did you do your tandem?) Iwan

Hope the delay in your jumps doesn't affect your AFF too much Kiyami, I will be hoping to book mine in a short while. Will try and do some research on the best weather period to get it sorted for. Either way; it will be down a bit of luck and dedication-can't wait though! Perhaps if I learn some packing skills it will pass those long hours on DZ

You must be near Wrexham way if your doing your AFF in Langar. How far away is the airbase to travel for you Chris? Because that has been a main concern for me-big travel distances with the unreliable weather meaning not so many jump days! I'm keen on doing the AFF and would book for this summer hopefully..are there long waiting times? Would love to hear how yours goes mate! Let me know, and all the best!! Iwan

For some reason i decided to do the tandem at the Black Knights in Lancaster. Excellent place and extremely proffesional whilst making it a fun experience at the same time! Have been thinking alot about the AFF since doing the tandem but my main problem being in the far West of N.Wales is a 2.5 hour drive to the nearest airbase so thanks for the tip about doing it abroad, i need to research some into that! Pob Hwyl! Iwan

Hi Everyone! New onto the forum and thought i'd come and say a big hello to everyone!! Always said I wanted to skydive sometime in my life and I completed a Tandem Skyive last week and am absolutely gagging to jump out of another perfectly good plane soon! Got loads of questions and interested in peoples opinions on the best way of moving on from my virgin jump!
