Where to jump in the UK

[hkellm 0]

I live in London and want to go skydiving. Anybody have any recomendations of where to go.

North London Sibson at Peterborough,
SE Headcorn -Essex
I think there's a place out by Reading too.
Go here first though, should have all the info you need.

Although I live in Scotland and have started to jump reguarly at StAndrews, I did my AFF at Sibson. Don't ask!!!
I thought Sibson was great, met loads of friendly faces and really enjoyed the trips down.
What do the people jumping at Langer and Hilton make of Sibson abd what do they think of Langer and Hilton compared to Sibson, As my mate is going to finish his AFF at Sibson so I'm going to pop in for some jumps, Plus I've got three jumps waiting for me when I go back down :-)) Canny wait!!!

There is also North London Parachute centre (Chatteris, Nr March)

Haven't jumped at Sibson personally, but I've heard good things (freefly nationals are there later this year). Langar and Hinton are both good DZs. Depends on what you are into really. Cark (Hibaldstow) gets AWESOME altitude (minimum '14 000) so I wouldn't mind a weekend there.

Skreamer you crazy mixed up kid, Cark is not the same place as Hibble, not unless they dragged one or the other across the country .
Both are coolio places, Hibble is near Hull, Cark is up by Lancaster, or at least they were in these places last time I visited them............

Dude, you think that's funny, you should join me when I go on the piss in London! (note to self : passing out on the night bus and *losing* your wallet is highly over-rated!). Anyway, what do I care, I'm going skydiving at Empuria Brava in France next week!!!! And one day I'm going to Antarctica to skydive over the North Pole!!!!

.....nb drinking in London is highly overrated, I lived there for a short while which was toooo long.

You should visit Deland sometime, its not far from my house in Aberdeen......

Now that would be a pretty impressive skydive / track off - seeing Empuria is in Spain, 15 miles from the French border

[Remster 30]

wow... that went straight over someones head.....
PS: I think the north pole is even further away from Antartica then 15 miles.. now THAT would be a long track.. lmao
