I was all set to travel to Spain for a few day's jumping until I checked the weather. Empuriabrava is cloudy and there's rain predicted. The UK on the other hand, is blue skies all the way!! So a great weekend was had at Hinton, Northamptonshire, (as this picture shows).
Whilst in the area I popped into Weston on the Green today to have my sacrificial training pressure suit adjusted for safe use in freefall. There are packages of equipment arriving almost daily...if only the postman knew, what would he think?
Watch this space for a post and some photos of the kit, (including a full pressure space helmet), which I'm going to test jump soon, after flying it in the Airkix indoor skydiving tunnel. In a week's time I start my serious tunnel training regime consisting of 10 hours tunnel flying between now and the end of May...more info on this to follow.
