skreamer 1 #4 January 31, 2003 Yeah, Central Line is fucked anyway, the Highway Services 'forgot' to put salt and grit on the roads - I can really see Ken's congestion charges being a massive success.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeemax 0 #6 January 31, 2003 i hate when we get the wrong type of snow... i think they're normally ok as long as it isn't white and cold. You guys from the UK too? whereabouts? i'm down in Kent.

skreamer 1 #7 January 31, 2003 QuoteWhat DZ's you at? You sure you're not a yank?? I've jumped at Langar, Weston, Hinton, Headcorn, Sibson and Hibaldstow - will be jumping mostly at Hib this year (good altitude, good piss-ups). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skreamer 1 #9 January 31, 2003 I was there last weekend. Only one jump (2way with Chris Guntrip). Its OK, but the airfield is a bit too crowded. What I like about Hib is that the DZ is the only operation there. Also means the pub etc is DZ types only - makes things a bit easier when you run around setting your mates hair on fire etc. Hib gets '15 000 as well, other English DZs get less. Apart from Hib, Sibson rocks as well - loads of freeflyers there. How many jumps do you have, freeflyer or flat? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QuickDraw 0 #11 January 31, 2003 If you do decide to do your AFF in Florida, may i recommend Sebastian. However if your a tightass cheapskate like me Empuria Brava in Spain also rocks. http://www.skyrats.com/eng/home.htm http://www.skydiveseb.com/ -- Hope you don't die. -- I'm fucking winning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sibson because I started jumping on static line rounds in '92 and Hib because of random drunkeness involving fire engines, gaffer tape and honey. -Ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
