Unfortunately we wonโ€™t be jumping tomorrow due to the forecast.

We are still running a Solo Ground School Training.

Sunday looks more promising.

On Sunday, Dez took his dad, Ned Blythe, on his final skydive. โค๏ธ๐Ÿช‚
Ned was a much-loved instructor at Skydive Northwest and sadly passed away nearly four years ago. A true legend of a guy, he was loved and respected by so many in the skydiving community.
Dez, himself a skydiver, was preparing to complete his 1,000th jump and felt there could be no more fitting way to mark the occasion than to take his dadโ€™s ashes with him, alongside friends, and spread them in free fall.
It was an incredibly special and fitting tribute to Ned โ€” surrounded by the sport he loved and the people who loved him. You did good Dez ๐Ÿ‘
Fly free, Ned. ๐Ÿ’™๏ฟฝForever part of the sky. ๐Ÿช‚โ˜๏ธ

Of course, the headline achievements of the week were pretty special ones...

But Cark Week was about much more than record jumps.

It was about bringing people together. Experienced flyers jumping alongside newer FS blood. Coaching, load organising, learning, progressing, supporting each other and โ€” most importantly โ€” having a damn good time doing it.

The answer to the first question was basically "๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ"! ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐ŸŽ‰ WE DID IT!! ๐ŸŽ‰
After months of planning, warm-up weekends, dirt-dives, spreadsheets, WhatsApp messages, and generally trying to herd cats...

The Club FS Formation Record has been broken! ๐Ÿค˜

Yesterday, on our first attempt of Day 2, we built a super safe, calm and controlled 1-point 29-Way, holding it for around 4โ€“5 seconds. I honestly couldn't be prouder of the team. Every single person who attended played a part in making it happen, whether they were in the formation, on the bench, organising, packing, flying, filming or simply supporting everyone else.

What a quality journey!

But...

Cark Week isn't over yet!

I'm staying at Cark for the remainder of the week to continue running FS Load Organising, and we have the opportunity to have a second aircraft available.

The only question is...

Do we have the numbers?

So here's the ask...

๐Ÿ‘‡ If you're planning on coming to Cark for some FS over the rest of the week days (Thursday & Friday), please drop a comment below letting me know which day(s) you'll be there.

If you'd rather not comment publicly, feel free to send me a private message instead (this is preferred so I have all the information in one place).

Knowing roughly how many people are coming will help us decide whether we can justify keeping the second aircraft availableโ€”and the more people we have, the more opportunities we'll have for bigger, better and more varied jumps.

Whether you're an experienced big-way flyer or simply fancy some fun, organised FS with a great bunch of people, it'd be brilliant to see you.

Let's keep the momentum going and finish Cark Week in style! ๐Ÿš€

Blue skies! ๐Ÿค™

Now here's the important bit...

The Record Attempts might be taking place at the start of the week, but ๐‚๐š๐ซ๐ค ๐–๐ž๐ž๐ค ๐๐จ๐ž๐ฌ๐ง'๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ฉ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž.

So if you've been thinking about coming alongโ€”even if you weren't available for the official Record datesโ€”๐๐จ ๐ข๐ญ.

Who knows what we'll build?

Maybe it'll be a multiplane 16-way.
Maybe a multiplane 20-way.
Maybe something considerably bigger...

And if we've already set the official Club Record by then (which, naturally, is the plan ๐Ÿ˜‰), there's absolutely nothing stopping us from putting together something even larger later in the week ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐›๐ฃ๐ž๐œ๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ก๐š๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐š ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐ข๐œ๐ข๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐ฉ๐จ๐จ๐ฅ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ฒ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ฅ๐ค ๐š๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐.

The more people who come, the bigger we can dream.

Whether you're chasing personal progression, looking to fly with new people, or simply fancy making the most of a rare week with two aircraft turning all day, we'd love to see you there.

Bring your rig.
Bring your mates.
Bring the dog.

Let's make Cark Week 2026 one to remember.

Peace, love and blue skies! โœˆ๏ธ
