I took an annual leave for today's skydive we drove 1hr 25 mins to get there and say in the place for over 6 hours only to find out he won't be jumping today, so we have the drive back an need to come back again next June .. Tbh not very happy about it all? Yes they have no control at all regarding the weather .... But they knew a good few hours ago that the weather was terrible, they didn't need to have us sitting about for over 6 hours just Incase

No, that pretty crap. It's not like weather gets the train in - a look at the satellite images is going to tell you what its going to be like for the next few hours.

can't believe they had you sat around for 6 hours..idiots

elantan

Yep z, the vibrations wake me up

It's so annoying about the weather at these places !!!!!! it's Scotland, it's winter its been miserable for weeks cancel it, sadly because we had already paid if we hadn't went he would've lost it, I texted them yesterday asking if it was still on due to the weather was told yes ... Grrrrr

Spose it could've been worse, there was a girl there that had had the same experience already so that's twice now she has sat for over 6 hours waiting

Very unprofessional IMHO

Yep taxi and a half tank of diesel later, so we were all scunnered and landed up going out for food ... Which we paid for ( I honestly didn't mind that bit) but I would've rather spent the day with my son doing something fun

There was a girl there that said to us you really shouldn't complain I've done over 200 jumps and many times have sat here not jumping, I just looked at her and said " well that is your choice, you know what it is like and choose to spend your time here, believe me if we had known this would be the case we wouldn't have bothered" she said " but it's only one day out your life" it went down hill from there lol

She is right El but then you don't get many days annual leave. I could think of better ways to spend a day.

However she's done 200 jumps, obviously having some sort of success rate. Your success rate is 0%. Which can be considered quite low...

Asking about the weather and still being told to turn up is what gets me.

Yep I get a whole 19 days annual leave a year, spent one of them stuck waiting for the weather to clear grrrrr

There were just so many better things we could've done with our time

It honestly felt like we had driven to a theme park to queue for a roller coaster for over 6 hours only to be told that the ride isn't going to open

But we get to repeat it all ( and hopefully a Jump as well) in June
