Following on from the previous large scale events held at Netheravon last year and Hibaldstow in April, Big Way Beginners IV is visiting Langar for what we hope will be the biggest participation to date!

Criteria for beginners to take part is 50 jumps post FS1, basic FS skills (e.g. consistent 6 point 4 way). All jumpers must be able to track away safely from an 8 way and be comfortable with related canopy traffic. Everyone meeting basic criteria is welcome.

Multiple 8-10 ways groups will kick off the event and grow to 22 way in size (for those demonstrating good safety skills in smaller groups).

More information will be posted here and emailed to participants nearer the time.

The meet time on the first day however will be early (e.g. 8am). Groups will need to be sorted on the first day (prior to dirtdiving), so patience while we get going will be requested.
