Becky seems to be having a good time!
One of the organsiers of the university group the Liverpool
Skydivers, she's been funjumping and starting to work on some
FS skills, along with downsizing canopy. Just before this
jump she had been swimming in the dropzone pool, hence the
slightly see through effect on her white jumpsuit!

A rare picture of me (!) with Andre who
appears to be listening carefully! I'm sat on our freefall
training trolley that we use to practice the 'arch' position
that we adopt in freefall. Andre is originally Russian but
is currently working as a website designer in the UK.

Wow Matt you need a shave! Matt and Adrian
are also both with the Liverpool skydivers and we know Matt
well as he's completed his AFF and FS1 courses with us on
previous trips to Spain - a true Freefall Addict!

The Liverpool Skydivers have also been
enjoying their time here - in the photo is Steve Luke. They've
also been making the most of the Penthouse apartment features-
watching DVD's, swimming in the pool - well they are students
after all!

Another night at our favourite restaurant,
Giant Haystacks! A mix of wild boar, pork, argentinian beef
steaks, ostrich, lambs legs and chicken kebabs. This is definitely
a meat eaters restaurant although there is a selection of
salads and vegetable dishes too! This restaurant is only a
few hundred metres from our Penthouse apartment too.

Kevin looks a bit startled here but has
had a fantastic trip, along with his brother Diarmuid and
friends Jerry and Brian Cahill. Brian trained with us a while
ago and Kevin, Diarmuid and Jerry have been completing their
AFF courses over the last few days.

Welcome back to David and Iain Higgins
- who are here for a few days from sunny Scotland to get some
fun jumps in. They have been busy skydiving together, and
even though not all of their jumps are working out 100% to
plan, they are having fun trying!

Last time we saw Nick, Berni and Garry
was a year or so ago - so it's great to see you all again!
Just here for a few days to top up on some sunshine, although
they do promise to come back soon. We'd also like to congratulate
Berni and Garry who got married recently!
