It Newsletter time, from Monday 11th February, and after a great weekend Jarod Hepburn was still here and did Stage 4 of his AFF Course. Ninette Keller did Stages 4, 5 & 6. It was a good start to the week but the weather turned against for a couple of days!
We got going again on Wednesday but only just. It was a bit the same Thursday. However our newest students Chris Cavanagh and Silas Barnes did Stage 1 of their AFF Courses.

Most amazing experience. Staff are all professional, very safety oriented but make the entire time you are there so much fun. First time jumper and we did it at night during their equinox boogie and the atmosphere was brilliant. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience an amazing jump.
