GrahamB 0 #1 November 3, 2005 Well I've finally gone and done it After doing AFF Lv1 at Chatteris (UK) I went to Spain with a friend, and did my AFF. After 6 days I'd done 10 jumps (weather was a right pain) I can honestly say that there is no experience quite like skydiving I'm into fast cars, fast bikes, I've done bungee jumping but none of it comes even close. Going to get my butt back to Chatteris in the next couple of weeks so I can get some practice done and the rest of my consols. The hardest thing I've had so far is trying to explain to people what its like... its impossible Big Hi to Andy Gregory (My AFF Instructor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skymama 37 #2 November 3, 2005 Welcome to the forums!

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites rs2kmk5 0 #4 November 3, 2005 Hiya Graham, I am doing my AFF at Chatteris, and hope to see you there soon - we're virtually at the same level (I've done 14 jumps now - 1 at Empuriabrava in Spain, and the rest here in the UK). Good luck with the rest of the course. I really hope to get licensed before the end of the year, hope you do too, so we can move towards FS1 then - LOL. Take care man, see you around!
