'organised loads' will be arranged on Friday afternoon
and will probably require tickets in advance).
General:
- Don't forget your photo ID for the gate. We can't help you get in if you don't have this.
- Everyone's names will be put at the gate for the days they have signed up for (and the evening beforehand), regardless of whether they are a Netheravon regular or not!
- There are a lot of tandems booked in on all days - if you arrive in the morning please be aware that all they will all be trying to get past the gate at the same time as you and all the other jumpers attending the boogie! :)
- Please be aware that almost all groups are now full. This means if you appear to be a 'no show' on the days for which you have registered and we are unaware you will be late, we may offer your slot to someone else - again just let us know what's happening!
SOLSTICE TRAFFIC WARNING.... choose your route carefully!
As the boogie is happening around the Solstice there
will almost certainly be traffic problems in the Stonehenge
area - expect this to cause significant delays on large
sections of the A303 in both directions (especially at peak
times). Please consider this when planning your route
and allow adequate time to get here if you can't avoid it.
We recommend routes that bring you down from
Hungerford / Marlborough to Everleigh and down to
Netheravon past the Crown. Alternatively you could
come across back road from Tidworth.
