Tuesday 24th March – Skydive Ramblers was CLOSED (temporarily). For the first time in 40 years we had to shut our door due to COVID-19. It was definitely a sad day.
Since then the Dropzone has never looked better, the mockup has had a touch of paint and also 3 new seating logs were placed around the area. Drewy has made a veggie garden with its very own rabbit and kangaroo proof fence, can’t wait until we can eat the veggies.
So now what?……We have to wait until the government eases it’s restrictions on social gathering and social distancing. In the meantime we are trying to work out how to get at least one person up in the plane.. and it looks promising, fingers crossed.
Just remember everyone that the DZ is shut and no one is allowed onsite. If you do need to come please contact the office and we will try and arrange something for you. No visits, No drive by, No parties and No social gathering are allowed. The bar is also CLOSED!

That was the most exciting adrenalin rush I have ever had. It was made so easy by the staff and those who jumped at the same time as I did. Not only did I feel included, but the genuine friendly nature of the people in that plane dissolved any nerves I had. What was so invigorating to see, was the eagerness of all to get out of the plane with no hesitation. Now: to the guy who took me as a Tandem, Tye, I know this man personally and wanted to jump with him. That never distracted from the professionalism shown and practiced by this Tandem Master. You made it easy and fun and beyond that safe. You are one top notch flier and I will jump again with you should I ever decide to do it again. Thank you so much everyone.
