“August’s Belly Bash was the biggest one yet – there were too many of us to fit into one plane! A great turnout for a Sunday – we managed four loads of 6-10 ways, with zippers, bipoles, donuts+stingers and arrowheads keeping all of the 19 jumpers busy and the plane full until the sunset load. Thanks to Ramblers, TSC and SQPC for enabling us to have camera throughout the day and for sponsoring the event. The next two events will be Sunday 30th October and Saturday 26th November – see you there!

Chris and Dawn :)”

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.
