How high was the crane????

The basket reached to 285ft.

Great event. Well done to all involved in pulling this off.

Quite simply could not have gone better. Solos, 2ways. 3ways, TARDS, TARD overs, aerials (ughhh). Not a single off landing or injury of note (some grass friction burns and a few bruises) and utterly glorious weather.

superb.

Absolutely awesome event. Great weather, brilliant object, fantastic people, and enormous fun. Thanks to everyone. Textbook.

Fantastic event - I hope there will be more of these to come!

Also a big congratulations to Ron and Dantheman who both did their 400th jumps yesterday.

It was a great cool day, very chilled out with lots of good vibes. And I got 9 jumps in! (I even stood up a couple of my landings...)

Outstanding......well done to the organisers and jumpers for the positive PR

British newspaper article (link will only be valid for 7 days)

Attached is a pic of Dantheman's 400th.

did i mention we did 151 jumps in total...another one to add to the list of organised,sanctioned public displays...hopefully more to follow.

I was very impressed by the professional impression given to the press. The article I read in the Metro (people put the weirdest stuff on my desk these days!) came across as articulate and well spoken.

Getting that through the a journalist isn't always so easy :D

That doesn't sound like the Metro I read...
