Thursday was much the same weather-wise, passing light showers and clouds, with occasional wind blasts. It didn’t stop Bethany Smith doing Stage 4, and Jamie & Corey did Stage 9 – completing their AFF Courses. Yahoo and well done!

Friday – was quiet. There was no jumping due to weather.


Saturday was much better weather-wise, but still a bit lousy! Our Tandem skydivers were Daniel Hurst, Thomas Lochert, Xanthie Milton, Daniel and Shakyla Read, and Rebecca Sheppherd.

There were a lot of fun jumpers here, about seventy. Flossy was running an Angles action day which was pretty popular. The second Caravan was called into action when needed. Laura did a B-Rel coach jump. The last sortie took off after sunset, the bonfire fired up, the raffle draw was on and TSC Christmas dinner was a winner.

Sunday rain showers and low clouds. About 20 people didn’t want to go home. The Cessna 182 did a few loads to cloud base and then the week was over.
.

See ya,

Macca and Team Ramblers.

Most amazing experience. Staff are all professional, very safety oriented but make the entire time you are there so much fun. First time jumper and we did it at night during their equinox boogie and the atmosphere was brilliant. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience an amazing jump.
