Reviews & Visitor Book Comments
Carol Browne: “An absolute Blast. Totally exhilarating. Sara, my diving buddy was totally professional and competent. She rehearsed my moves. Gave me an opportunity to bail (which was never going to happen but would have been appreciated by a possible nervous type), was a very good tourist guide on the climb out so fabulous experience all round.
Thanks to everyone there. Cheers, Carol.”
Tharanga Kasthuriarachchi: “Had a tandem jump with Mark! Absolutely amazing experience! Would definitely do it again.”
Ben Hockley: “Everyone doing this is crazy. I may be back.”
Kelly Lysons-Smith/ Nathan Batchelor: “Absolutely awesome jump!”

Ramblers is a great club and a great drop zone. It was 39 years ago and it is now. I have just gone through the photos of my tandem jump with Darren and relived the whole exhilarating experience again - even my husband was impressed. Congratulations to Dave McEvoy for such a fantastic venue.
