  1. Cheers for the replies guys. Also did my AFF at the Freefall Uni. Really enjoyed my course by the end of it but there were some times I thought I couldn't do it. The instructors there are great. Managed to give me the confidence to carry on. I had Luci for my instructor, paitience of a saint! Had to retake level3 after losing altitude awareness and had a confidence jump after a scarey level4. Never really had a problem with gas at altitude though, was more concerned with not acidently falling out the door (those Porters are small!) but I can see beans may be a bad option! Where do you guys all jump? Live in Nottingham so hoping to sign on at Langar. Blue skies and soft landings. N.
  2. Hey to all! My name is Neil and I'm from the UK. I started doing static line but winter came and faced with the propect of starting from scratch I went for AFF. I recently completed my AFF course near Madrid in Spain. All I can say is why ever didn't I do this sooner?! One question, how common is it that people have problems on AFF? Lets just say things didn't always go so smoothly and had to do a couple of retakes. Was all worth it in the end just to get the Level7 jump done! Already convinced work to give more time off and I'm heading back mid april to get some more jumps. Is this the start of living off tins of beans and having an unhappy bank manager?
