Our  Dropzone

We jump at Netheravon, a military base that is open to civilians at the weekends. It is situated on Salisbury plain, just over an hour's drive from Portsmouth and has the largest landing area in Europe - so you've got no excuse for missing it!

The dropzone has all the facilities you will need including a well stocked bar and a cafe with big screen DVD player. Experienced jumpers will appreciate the large indoor packing area and creeper pad and easily available rigging services (either onsite or from nearby Point Zero). If you want to stay overnight there is a basic bunkhouse which is free, or else you can always pitch a tent, either way you can use the free hot showers and washblock.

Netheravon is a very socialable dropzone with regular fancy dress parties. The themes vary, but given the military connections you are sure to see at least one 'manly woman' on these nights. The bar is open every Friday and Saturday night and most drinks are just £1.50.
