The skydiving week was off to a wet start on Monday 22nd March, and Tuesday and Wednesday. There was no jumping.
Thursday was better weather, no more rain but a touch windy. Sara’s Canopy Handling group got three jumps done. Mikel Acuna Lumberas did one jump towards his B-Licence.

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.
