Hi all speeders,
Due to heavy rainfall during Augusti, the runway at Gryttjom has become very soft - too soft for our heavy planes. So to avoid destroying the runway completely, the club has temporarily moved its activities to Gävle Airport, about 45 minutes drive north of Gryttjom. The decision to jump there has been taken on a week-to-week basis, based on the current status of the runway.
It has now been decided that we will be there also this weekend, when we arrange the World Cup in Speed skydiving.
We still have Gryttjom as our base camp; we sleep there (or nearby), eat breakfast there and have dinner there.
The aero club in Gävle has kindly opened their doors to us, and we can enjoy their facilities, although maybe they are not as well equipped as we are in Gryttjom. They do sell som coffee and sandwiches, but it is also possible to order lunch from the restaurant at Gryttjom (Makkara) who can make a lunch-box-to-go before we leave in the morning.
From a practical point of view this means an earlier start on Saturday morning, because as mentioned above it takes about 45 minutes to drive to Gävle. And we want to be ready to start jump at 10 am.
We had arranged with an extension of our jump hours until 22, if needed, but unfortunately that only applies to Gryttjom and therefore the jumping time will be 10-18 (as it would normally be).
The competition will be premanifested so I hope that if everything runs smoothly, we will still be able to finish the competition on Saturday (and have the price ceremony in the evening).
In any case, when you are all here we can decide together what to do depending on the situation.
If you have any questions, just let me know.
Keep well, and see you soon!
Ann Lindberg
