Thursday 22nd  Then it happened.. The winds starting picking up, strong, fast and turbulent from the west… we all stayed on the ground. Was a good theory day for all our students.


Friday 23rd  Same conditions as yesterday, strong westerly winds…The experienced jumpers took to the skies, but only for one jump. Students learnt how to pack their parachutes.
