Friendly and close in the (south) UK?

Have you considered Netheravon? -
Try www.axa-travel.co.uk although I think you normally need to do that 7 days in advance. At short notice try http://www.hbinsurance.co.uk/. (In both cases ensure that you select the appropriate cover!) hth! Vicki

:9: Fantastic weekend spent at Langar doing big-ways! Beer possibly owed for my first time floating from a left trail plane.

British rules, taken from the BPA Ops manual are as below: Vicki

Yep, there is no stress release quite like skydiving!

What is your favorite Happy Bunny saying and why?

Thank you! I can see myself ordering a few from there! -
Good news girl! Have some great jumps for me! Vicki

In the UK, wearing at least one knife is compulsory for all licensed skydivers. Vicki

Don't even think about it!!!!! Vicki

I seem to remember that when I started jumping, PD required 400 (or maybe 500?) jumps before they would sell someone a stiletto. The canopy hasn't changed and the ground hasn't got any softer, so (directed at the original poster) if you have any less jumps please re-consider whether you have any business being under such a canopy. To the original poster - why not try a Spectre 150 as well? I think the Specte is a fantastic beginner canopy - and is also jumped my many highly experienced jumpers as well. Vicki

Where in London are you? Headcorn is open midweek and very easily accessible by train from London Bridge/Charing Cross/Waterloo East - journey time is about an hour. Vicki

Mine has been pre-ordered for months and I can't wait to receive it!

She is an animagus - not sure which book that fact is in, but she is very definitely an animagus. Vicki

Compulsory in the UK until the jumper has a B licence, then optional. Vicki

What was the canopy? If you packed the canopy yourself then you may want to get some tips from someone at your DZ as there are a lot of things you can do with your packing to control the speed a canopy opens. However, some canopies do just open faster than others and once in a while, even when you've done everything right, you sometimes get slammed. hth! Vicki

Just out of interest, and possibly off topic a little... Why are you going for a smaller reserve than your main? At your experience level a reserve wingloading of 1.26 (taking your exit weight as 240lbs) seems high to me. Vicki

*BUMP* Bought mine this weekend!

:4:0 Aircraft problems slowed jumping down somewhat but an awesome weekend nonetheless with hardcore partying on Friday and Saturday nights! Favourite jump was definitely a very high hop and pop for the last load of the weekend but were my arms ever sore by the time I got down?! Quote of the weekend: "Vicki, you're a social hand grenade and a complete fucking animal". I like it! Vicki

I was only half listening, but I'm pretty sure the 7 o'clock news said that airports were fine. I think the Heathrow and Gatwick Express are now running too. Vicki

There are some pretty harrowing pictures on tv this evening too. I'll see you at Nethers tomorrow... I will bring wine. Vicki

What are some of the funniest team names you've heard?
vt1977 replied to ACMESkydiver's topic in The Bonfire
The best one I ever heard was a scratch team who called themselves “I want sex in manifest” which led to a call from the girl in manifest of “I want sex in manifest with [name] on camera” Vicki -
I'm pretty sure she was starting in London. She was in London about the same time I was in Sweden so I don't think she's there now. Vicki
