I think that everyone should already know about this event planned for 24th + 25th January 2009. But have you reminded your loved ones, partners, friends etc that this would be an ideal Christmas present - deploying your reserve parachute, repacking it as well as inspiring talk by J Sylvester and more - follow the above link to read more details on how to book....

Here is a link to an excerpt of video showing some deployments at Ratho last year - courtesy of R McHarg.

And here are each of the 4 quarters of the complete video each about 269MB

For all you X-Scotia athletes, your moment of TV glory approaches.

The Adventure Show is doing a big piece on the X-Scotia in their next
programme.

Here's an early heads up on transmission, although date and time could still
change.

BBC 2 Scotland, 18.00, Sunday 31 August.
(If you are south of the Border, it is also available on Sky channel 990 I
think).

There'll be a further reminder nearer the actual transmission.

Cheers


Mike

Please accept my apologies as I have been moving house since the fantastic X-Scotia event completed the other weekend and I have just not had a chance to get this done earlier.

There are loads of pictures and videos available and my plan is to start by giving a flavour here with some unlinked thumbnails and later on add more posts with more complete details and links to new pages and or full size images...
