Monday 5th August. Most of the week was blown out so it was a very quiet one.  Today we only did 3 loads with the 5 fun jumpers who were here.

Tuesday The weather improved a little, enough for Karen Walsh who did Stage 4 of her AFF Course, and Cain Bryan did Stages 7 & 8.  Some more fun jumpers arrived and we did 4 loads with the 14 skydivers who were here.

Saturday was just about winded out. There were 21 keen skydivers here who got a jump or two in before the westerlies really set in. Luckily our Tandems James Schofield, Nickalee Traplin, Kane Eustace and Mick Freeman all got their jump in. So did John McMahon’s rel work group. Elise Davey started here AFF Course. The bar opened about 1.00 o’clock!!
