gwr northants Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 right folks been on the phone to two diff companys and there is a fair bit more to this , if doing a tandem jump , ei connected to another person , your looking on around 400 quid and out of that 150 goes to charity , if doing a static line jump on your own around 320 wich 140 goes to charity , but you have to go one sat and spend all day training then go back the following sat to do the jump (depending upon weather) ???this is from langer airfield near nottingham , also weight limit for tandem jump is 15 stone , one company will do more up to 17 but is based in salisbury , so bloody miles away , im trying a few more companys today and yes will be in touch , as i think them prices are bloody high, and here is a ;ist of people who have shown intrest ,me , ADY MATT , TERRY, TOASTYBOY HOLMES, PETE WOOLLEY, TRACY FEARN, LYNNE, DAN DUKE, DARREN COOPER, DAVID MULLIGAN and poss ADAM TYPE R .cheers right gonna go try some more folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwr northants Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 it seems quite a few don't like doing static line jumps , one bloke actually laughed and said way too dangerous , his company would only do tandem free fall , and the cost is only 175 quid per-person he said , 1 min of free fall , then 7 mins with chute open , down to the ground ?? i don't know if this is of any interest to any one , rather than the extra cost of a static , also the days training that is involved in doing it . so come on folks what do you think , as im happy to do either , wouldn't mind a free fall as iv done quite a few jumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteknuckleride Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Well done for the time taken researching GazYou can stick both me and Bobs down for that 175 tandemCheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwr northants Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Can the people who have shown an intrest in this please confirm if a freefall parachute jump at 175 quid is ok ? None of that goes to charity and that price was for 10 and over ? And does any one else fancy this , come on could be a great day falling through the sky at 125 mph then all down pub for sunday dinner!! A top day had by all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwr northants Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Right folks sorry to have to say this but the cost type of jump etc has been on a while now and only 5 people have said defo yes. Me ady bobs matt. And darren cooper on face book. Was hoping a lot would of giving a thumbs up over the week end either on here or f book. So I personally feel that there is no point pursuing the matter further. Sorry folks so im knocking it on the head. And my apologise for puttimg the post up but if no one is to confirm I cant really take it any further, also Ady will have a gab fella as im sure we can sort something out between ourselfs fella !

fildigger Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 It was some years ago when i chucked myself out of a plane (in Cyprus with the combined services parachute club)...i would be up for it..although im over 15 stone now!!!...could be a hard landing!Maybe next time Gaz'..good idea though.
