Shame this has a small window but this might have helped some of us decide whether this was a good or bad idea!

ali-bach  on 10/01/12 @ 7:22

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

Do the chutes come in extra large? If so count me in

Rourky   on 16/01/12 @ 10:58

Just a up date still looking at prices its working out at about Â&pound;240 to Â&pound;260.
The places am looking at advertise at Â&pound;140 to Â&pound;199 but when I inquire its Â&pound;240 to Â&pound;260 I hate it when they lie.
I will not be beaten I will keep on trying to see if we can get it cheaper.
If not can you let me know if you are still interested.

wawalk55   on 16/01/12 @ 22:45

still interested, someone at work is into skydiving if you like i could ask her to see if she knows of anywhere

Up date on prices, the best price I can get is Â&pound;205 thats with 8 people.
Its with the Black Knights parachute in Lancashire.
Its Â&pound;50 deposit and pay the rest on the day.
Dates available in July are the 7/14/21 they have got all the w/ends in August up to now. If you
are interested email me and will give you all the info you will need. And a couple of dates so I can pick the best time for everyone.<img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

The Mind is Willing   on 28/01/12 @ 18:43

Hi guys, keep a space available for me ive been wanting to do this for years I had the chance of diving with the black knights for my 21 st birthday but never got it booked due to the long waiting list.

TTTriathlon Time   on 29/01/12 @ 1:35

DTE I know its a long way for you but I was looking at costs and most of the people that are intrested are from the North. Anyway you know its a lot nicer up here<img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />
I could do with knowing the number of people that are a definite so I can get it booked. As AW said they get booked up very quickly.
As for a walk I think we could sort somthing out.

wawalk55   on 29/01/12 @ 9:25

Hi AW welcome to the sight. I have gone to put loads of comments on about you but thought better of it. All complimentary of course <img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' />

UJUltreia (Jo & Alan)   on 29/01/12 @ 9:34

TMIW if you stop looking at my picture you will not get a crink in the neck!! well it better than a pain in the a--<img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' />
All going well see you wednesday.

wawalk55   on 29/01/12 @ 9:41

it will all depend on the date for me because of the boys, aug would be better for me because i will have finished work but would still depend on which wkend, are we going to do something the next day?

The Mind is Willing   on 29/01/12 @ 15:03

Yes I can dance just like Rab c Nesbit<img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />
DTE Aug is fine by me just give me a couple of dates. The quicker we book it the better chance we have of getting the dates we want.
I know its a bit away but I think if we leave it to late we won't get the dates we want.
I have to pay the deposit in one.So any one thats coming will have to send me the deposit
So end me a email and I will give you my address.

on 29/01/12 @ 23:13

From last post should say send me a email. Andydav I think I will need a lie down after wens day. You know what the ladies are like<img src='theme/emoticon_tongue.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_tongue.png' />

Hi Johnny so that's Â&pound;205 each with a minimum of 8 people on 4th August?

on 02/02/12 @ 23:17

I hope we did tire you out on Wednesday Johnny - we tried our best!! <img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' />
Your dancing wasn't bad for a first time beginner Rab C Nesbit my ****! <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

The Mind is Willing   on 02/02/12 @ 23:20

TMIW So you have never see Rab c Nesbit dance <img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' />
Yes its Â&pound;205 each if we get eight people. They are a few people that cant make their mind up. They are five of us up till now.

wawalk55   on 05/02/12 @ 19:29

Well if his timing is as good as yours, we'll make a dancer of you both! <img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' />

Well it is scarey and it is Â&pound;205 I can scare myself witless by just watching a horror movie and it doesn't cost as much!! <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />
Having said that, it is enticing and the experience can't be compared. <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

The Mind is Willing   on 09/02/12 @ 20:54

No problem scout will email you with details.
TMIW you can scare your self watching a horror
movie.But you know your a star and all stars want to be in a great movie<img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' />

wawalk55   on 12/02/12 @ 22:42

Flattery can get you most places Walk55 but not beyond fear!!

Having said that clearly I'm not happy about approaching 50 and seem hell bent on doing all sorts of crazy things. <img src='theme/emoticon_confused.png' /> So count me and God save my soul!!!!!

on 12/02/12 @ 22:58

Hi All as it is an early start (8 am) just noticed on their website that Bunkhouse accommodation is available at the drop zone upon request at a charge of Â&pound;2 per night (bring a sleeping bag). It might be worth getting in touch and booking a bunk.

on 30/04/12 @ 16:55

FYI Anyone who hasn't got a doctors form or who may have lost theirs can download one from www.bpa.org.uk form 114

The Mind is Willing   on 30/04/12 @ 17:01

Right let me get this straight 4th Aug 8am in Lancashire? What is the website Claudette as I will book in bunkhouse. I need to be home though for the evening, if I survive <img src='theme/emoticon_confused.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' />

UJUltreia (Jo & Alan)   on 01/05/12 @ 9:13

Talk about bonkers women.

dadavem   on 01/05/12 @ 18:14

Girls, just emailed Walk55. No amount of bribery will get my doctor to sign my form, so am going to have to reluctantly dip out of this one, thanks to my dodgy discs in my back. So if anyone wants to take my place then speak to Walk55. <img src='theme/emoticon_unhappy.png' />

mimilvus   on 01/05/12 @ 20:59

Ah - that is a real shame Babs. At least you will save some cash. Bonkers men, REAL men, too Davem!! I may even decide to do it with no parachute <img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' /> Will go bunkhouse TMIW though sounds a little bit rough - no prob for ex-SAS officer though <img src='theme/emoticon_wink.png' /> (all talk now but prob be whimpering on the edge of that plane)

mimilvus   on 28/06/12 @ 21:43

Hi Milvus no one has taken your place yet. I think you should start begging your doctor for her signature. Or take her a big box of chocolates!!! So if anyone is thinking about it come on and be part of the O/D paratroopers <img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' /> only four weeks to go.
