Sarah Breeze (Pilot!) – Busiest Day Yet – 10 Loads!
Monday 19th July The Learning Curve Camp week was off to a good start, lots of people here, 28 in total. Six Caravan loads for the day. Perfect weather. And Chris Gustafsson did Stage 9 of his AFF Course. Well done Chris!
Tuesday was not so good weather-wise, we only managed two loads before the wind stalled the day. Liam O’Brien was back for a Refresher Course. Nineteen skydivers got their knees in the breeze but then the breeze turned into wind!
Wednesday was quiet, too windy for parachuting.
Thursday was brilliant! Ten loads for the day and 40 skydivers took to the skies. Lots of B-Rels, Angles, refreshers and fun jumps! Our Tandem today was Geoffrey Roscoe.
Sara’s Canopy Couse had 8 parachutists register. The Canopy Piloting Courses with Sara are open to all jumpers with the aim to learn all the basic skills to fly & land in a busy eco-system amongst other canopies: Canopy Skills & Essential Manoeuvres, Increased Knowledge & Confidence. This event is supported by the APF, SQPC, and WIAS.
Conor Loughnan managed Stages 8 and 9 well, finishing his AFF Course. Congratulations Conor!
Friday started well but then the rain came along and dampened the day. There were lots of skydivers here but we only managed four loads. Sara’s Canopy Course squeezed 3 jumps in so all was not lost. It was a good LCC week. Harvey’s landing tapes were fantastic as usual. Lots of seminars filled the weather gaps. Lots of fun was had and the fire blazed every night (all day actually!). Thanks to all the Coaches and thanks again Harvey. And thanks to everybody who came along for the week.
Saturday started well. It was our first Saturday of skydiving after 4 Saturdays of not jumping! We managed 7 Caravan loads and 3 x C182 loads before the weather turned. Luckily we jumped our tandems earlier in the day. Brandy Palmer, Ronan Brady, Daryl Warhurst, Eruette (Ed) Puhi, Heremia Simeon, Timothy Toko and Sarah Hathway all took the big leap in Tandem! Our student Hannah Jefferies did AFF Stage 5. It was a beaut day until the weather turned.
Sunday was looking threatening but we managed one load of Tandems. Darshna McKenzie, Allison Voigt, and Santosh Deshande all took to the skies. And that was IT ! Oh well, the grass is green.
See ya,
Macca and Team Ramblers.

“Hello Dave,
I’d like to take a moment to say that I had a great first jump yesterday. From the moment we arrived to the time we left, I was very appreciative of how relaxing the environment was. This also helped me get through my nerves, and everything ran very smoothly. Ollie, my instructor, was awesome throughout and made the experience all the more fun as well. The video quality exceeded my expectations and I’d love to jump again with youse very soon. I believe there’s not much to say in terms of areas where you can improve, but I’ll be happy to share if I think of anything.
Cheers again,
Heremia.”

Hey guys,
Thanks for running the Learning Curve Camp last week! It was run to your usual high standard and was a very beneficial experience, especially given my lack of currency after the main COVID closures. I thoroughly enjoy attending these weeks and really appreciate the time dedicated by the whole team at Ramblers, including the instructors, manifest, cafe team, aviation crew/pilots, and support staff. You are all legends and I look forward to coming out again in the near future.
Cheers, Adam.
