Lat weekend I did my 6th AFF lesson and was cleared for solo. I then proceeded to jump out of a plane at 15,000 feet… completely alone. The previous 2 lessons had been with one instructor who basically hovers near you as you do excersises and makes sure you’re ok. It was so different being out there on your own, just falling with no one around. I’m now working towards my A-Licence, which involves a lot of self-study and getting advice from experienced jumpers.
On a completely different topic: I’ll be returning to England at the beginning of August for my cousin’s wedding. I’m planning on working from Google’s London office for 2 weeks, then spending the 3 weekends seeing friends and family. If you are around and want to meet up please get in touch, especially since a lot of my contact details are out of date or were lost in a hard drive crash.
