2 fer 2 and 16 of 22 - Quest for All GB DZ's

[alw 0]

My plans to jump all of the DZ's in Florida this year went to hell just after I ordered a new canopy. I'd gotten more than half way there when I had to go to U.K. in July on assignment.

Not to be stopped I just readjusted the locale and started trying to visit all UK DZ's.

Stats so far:

2 fer 2 on the tunnels (wind not rain)
16 of 22 DZ's on the big island
5 new aircraft types
2 night jumps (Thanks Nethers)
1 boogie (Thanks Langar)
2 bigways (Thanks British POPS)
2 Wingsuit flocks

1 very old question, "If you live in Orlando why are you here?"

Great fun and good vibes from the whole U.K. skydiving crowd. I'm working at getting to the last 6 DZ's. But really hoping I'm back at Space Center for my 500th.

If anyone knows where Mike X is please pass this on to him.

Left to do are:

St Andrews
Silver Stars (website says they're not doing sport jumpers at this time)
Headcorn
Cornish Parachute Center
Skydive UK in Devon
UK Parachuting in Old Bucks

If I have to stay much longer I may get over to NI for a weekend.

Cornish Parachute Center

Y'know, I live in Devon but I still haven't made it to Perranporth (Cornish PC)

I've heard great things about the scenery and hospitality though, so I'm looking forward to taking my wingsuit out along the coastline

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

I'm going to need a long weekend for that one. Wingsuit along the coast - sounds great.

Dude, come on down and you can tell me how Mercer has been doing since I was there. Buy me a beer and I'll let you jump my rig if you want. PM me.
To alw: Yeah, Cornwall is a surprisingly long way from, well, everything

I should have a cypres shortly so will see you down there sometime soon.

Damn! I was actually angling to try out your Safire2 129

[bigway 4]

dude, i have no plans to jump for the next month or two, if you want to put some jumps on my safire 2 129 and you can get to andover to pick it up, you are more than welcome to borrow it, just need it back by end of november as i will be on my way to thailand then.

I got a brand new one for sale as well if you are keen after that.

Seriously though, if you can get to andover, you are more than welcome to borrow it for a while.
You lose it, tear it or have sex on it and you own it though.

That is a very tempting offer! Let me think on it. Could you PM me with what you're asking for the new one (and colours etc?) I've jumped the 149 and loved it, now looking to go a bit smaller.
