That was the first formal star crest day at Ramblers for a few months. We had eight ASC applicants and two who wanted to practice for the star crest jumps. Of those, six and one respectively were able to jump, and four achieved their star crest on the day – congratulations to James Prior, Susann Guettler, Jordan Hale and Josh Arndt. Please congratulate them if you see them at the DZ.
The weather held off and the two groups had some great jumps. Some of the star crest jump groups were able to turn points, in one case three points – fantastic job, everyone. A highlight was that some of the new ASC holders had the chance to jump in the 26 way formation load at the end of the day!
Next star crest Day on Saturday 13 January.

Went with them today for my first ever skydiving. It was amazing, exhilarating and exciting. Don't be scared, there's nothing terrifying about it. Once you are out of the plane, it feels like you're flying.
