S#1t – Life (skydiving) has been keeping me busy lately, REALLY busy!! My apologies to everyone for being so slack with blogging. As I am now on my skydiving club’s committee, lots of hours at home are spent working on club newsletters and helping redesign the website. When I am not working on committee / club stuff I am researching my new *possible* project (more about that just now). I am glad to say that my jump numbers have been racking up very nicely – after this past weekend, I am up to 70 . I know I am still… » Read more…

Right, where to start!? Firstly – sorry that it has taken me so long to get around to blogging, between work and the DZ, my time is very limited!! So – I’m on 54 jumps after this weekend…and hoping to be at 100 by the end of the summer There have been lots of changes with regards to my skydiving life, and I’m loving every bit of it! I am now in charge of our club newsletter and part of “The party committee”, hence why I have been so quiet on the blogging front! I have also bought myself a… » Read more…

Right – I guess I should start off with describing how EXPENSIVE skydiving is here in relation to the general income (I’ll try make this as easy to understand as possible).
