Monday 27th December and our Tandems today were local brothers Hayden & Jordan Brieschke, as well as Lauren Clark, Emily Collins, Jeff & Nelle Cooper, Jourdan Ellery, Reagan Eustace, Jack Greive, and Louis & Oskar Moore. Phew, big day for us!
Plus new students Tamblyn Niethe, Ethan Stamper, Joseph Gipp and Hossein Mehrgoo all started their AFF Course and did Stage 1. Shane Avis McAnally also got Stages 7 & 8 done. There were 40 jumpers here and a few B-Rel coach jumps got done.
Tuesday was weathered out. We had no loads done.
Wednesday arrived, it was the start of Adrian’s New Year Boogie. 62 jumpers fun jumpers also arrived. So did Tandems jumpers Keurosh Heydari, Crystal Locke, Maryam Orouji, Amali & Juanita Thomson, and Melissa Holt. The weather wasfar from perfect but the show went on!
More Tandems arrived on Thursday. Wayne Hunt, Taylor Adams, Rachel Davis, Matthew Pain, Johan Taljaard, Sean Turner, and Maia & Oscar Weatherstone all took to the skies. Fun jump numbers went to 73. The weather behaved – only just. Unfortunately our lesser experienced skydivers and students were occasionally weather burdened.
Friday 31st December , New Year’s Eve. The weather was against us most of the time. Quite a few loads got done in between the weather fronts. Skydivers started to depart but the Boogie People started to Party! And so did Tandem jumpers Leon & Claudia Colbert. The weather cleared at sunset and the bonfire raged in between the light showers. The Boogie Day Tape was a beauty. It was a great NYE DZ Party!
Saturday 1st January 2022 – HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! DZ CLOSED.
Sunday the 2nd and the DZ opened again for business – skydiving business! And open we did! Eleven Tandems were done. Michael Brown, Brayden Cooper, Tristan Eva, Shontai Harrop-Carroll, Matthew Hastie, Raphaelle Bazataqui, Rhiannon Karey, Rhys Sloan, Alannah Waylen, and Jacob & John Thuijs all started the new year with a shock – parachute opening shock. Hossein Mehrgoo was back for his Stage 2. Shane Avis McAnally did Stage 9 – completing his AFF! Congratulations! Lots of fun jumpers were here. A fair bit of Coaching was happening. There were 58 jumpers here and tomorrow is a holiday!
See ya,
Macca and Team Ramblers.

My experience of a tandem skydive was for my 40th Birthday. I could not imagine possibly enjoying myself any more than what I did today. Thank you to my tandem guide and the video guys. Instructions were very clear and thorough about what to do, what to expect and I got a great tour guide experience up in the air. I look forward to doing it again.
MAREE A.
