The club runs a trip most weekends during term time down to the drop zone. We get a bus (or go in cars) there and back leaving Friday evening and coming back Sunday afternoon/evening. If you want to come just let us know at the social or on the forum. The bus has to be paid in advanced.
If you're lucky enough to have a car up here at uni and you're planning on going down mid week then spread the love and let us know, we'll probably help you fill it and save you some petrol money.
Any training documents and log books received on previous trips.
A sleeping bag and pillow.
Wash bag and towel.
Warm clothes and suitable trousers to jump in (ie. tracksuit bottoms).
Trainers to jump in.
Money for food and loads of beer, on site canteen and bar.
Magazines, books, cards, games to keep you entertained. Even bring some work, but this tends to be a waste of space.
The bunk house is free but basic and camping is also free.
We will normally leave at 7pm on friday night and return on the sunday evening whenever jumping finishes, or earlier if the weather is particularily bad.
On a weekend when we are taking students down to take part in their first jump course, RAPS course, then there will be at least one committee member with them to take them to the drop zone. Show them around, ie. where they will be sleeping, the main building, canteen, bar, showers etc...
The committee member will also show them where to go to get registered for the course on the saturday morning.
The ground school will last all day, with breaks mid-morning, lunch time and afternoon tea.
Once their course is complete then everyone will arrange together what they want to do for dinner. There are various local restaurants and take-aways if no one fancies the canteen food.
On the sunday, weather permitting, these students will do their first jumps.
On weekends without any RAPS courses notices will be put on the forum so people can sign up. These names will then be split into cars to get down there.
When at the airfield there will be a committee member present who will do their best to help any new student with any questions or problems they have.
There is also range of instructors and residential staff at Langar Airfield.
