  6. 10 years jumping and 1,000+ jumps with no injuries except for a few very minor bruises and a slightly twisted ankle - most of that sub 100 jumps.
  7. You have quite a few options – check out the map on the BPA website. Vicki
  8. :12: 12 jumps at Netheravon this weekend - without a doubt the best weekend we've had all summer! Scorching hot and big blue skies for a change! debatably owed for following out (fully clothed) 2 men doing a naked jump! It was hilarious! And I was a bit naughty… I had their shorts down the front of my jumpsuit and deliberately landed over the other side of the runway in the 800+ jump landing area so they had to walk back without shorts!!!!! Hehehehehehehe! Vicki
  9. I'm currently stuck at work but AFAIK the organising team was Lesley, Kate Cooper and Kate Stephens. Congratulations to all!
  10. I just had a text message to say that they have just broken the British Women's record with a 60-way over Langar!
  11. I’ve been vegetarian for over 8 years now – it’s easy!
  12. OMFG I am having all 4 of my wisdom teeth out under general anaesthetic at the end of November. Shit! Is it really going to be this bad???? Vicki
  13. Yes! I finally got my 1000th jump, won a medal at the Nationals and was a part of my personal largest completed formation. Despite the weather, it’s been a great summer!
  14. :3:0 Yet another crappy weather bank holiday weekend in the UK. Where the f*ck is our summer????? Vicki
  15. I live in Surrey and AFAIK there is no DZ in Hampshire! Check the BPA website to see what else is nearby although your best bet may well be Netheravon in Wiltshire, near Salisbury. hth!
  16. A good time had by all last night. I’m kinda regretting starting early on a bottle of wine and then moving onto copious amounts of blue stuff , but why not?! Vicki
  17. I will almost certainly be there!

    Adria Allen

    I never knew or met Adria, but it strikes me that with the number of people who have so obviously been moved by her untimely death her beautiful smile and sparkle must have enchanted so many during her life. Fly free Adria. Vicki
  19. I had a wide chest strap on my last rig and was adamant that I wanted the same on my new one. I was dubious, but was talked into having a 1” chest strap by the gear dealer and it was an excellent decision – I love it.
  20. Hey Yoink, I see you’re based in the UK. Have you been to one of Chris Lynch’s excellent Wingtips seminars? If you are serious about wanting to learn more about what your canopy can do that would be a very, very wise first step. Also, have you read Chris’ article from the June 2004 Skydive Mag? Stay safe, Vicki
