Learning Curve Camp

Another Monday (the 18th of February) and another Newsletter, and the start of another Learning Curve Camp. Lots of people arrived and got stuck into it. Along with the 15 or so LCC jumpers our students and beginners were also hard at it.

Chris Cavanagh did Stages 6 & 7 of his AFF Course.  Mark Graham, Janelle (Ka Ying) Gong and Fiona McHugh did refreshers. And Mr woo and his Korean mates were here.

---

Perfect weather continued on Tuesday. Two new Tandems, Dylan Butler-Graham and Kristi Williams joined in the LCC fun. So did Chris Cavanagh who did his AFF Stage 8. There was a good mix of jumpers here of all levels. The seminars were well presented and received. Harvey’s landing videos we again a great learning tool for the people here.

On Wednesday Silas Barnes did Stages 6, 7, 8 & 9, David Pearson did Stage 9 of his Wind Tunnel Skydive Course, and Chris Cavanagh did Stage 9 – completing his Course. Well done people! However the early signs of the dreaded cyclone raised its windy presence. On the bright side we had a special visitor.

---

Then on Thursday the wind started to intensify. We had a few jumps. Then Cyclone OMA blew all hopes of jumping away for the rest of the week.

---

By Friday morning it was all over except for some fun in the pool.

And not only was it the end of a potentially fantastic LCC, it was also the end of jumping for the week with Saturday and Sunday also totally blown out.

Special thank you to everybody who came along for the LCC. It was a bit of fun and some good stuff got done and the seminars were well received. Next LCC is the week before Easter. There’s a full moon on the Friday night so Night Jumps will be the theme for the week. See you there and ….

See ya!

VISITOR BOOK COMMENT

Dylan Butler-Graham – One of the greatest feelings.  Free falling feels like the purest form of freedom.
