Level 1 complete

cool didn't think I'd get a jump this morning as been raining, but just had my first jump for 4 years. Jumped from 13000 with 2 instructors. Went nice.got my stability again pretty quickly so they are skipping me up to level 3.

Wind has got up though - landing was straight down as 20mph wind and the canopy only flies at 20mph. I wanted to show off and land on their target spot but they told me to limit my landing pattern to not flyover the concrete so I had to land somewhere else.

skydive canopies are fun to fly - not like paragliding canopies at all - you can basically chuck em all over the sky -spins' etc and they are totally stable.

Anyhoo. Now waiting was wind to ease off. . .
