Re: [caerdydd] A certain cliff in Scandinavia?
Some official info:
In reply to:
There you can find a 350m cliff. This cliff is unfortunately not suitable for inexperienced jumpers. Wingsuit jumpers must have 50 cliff jumps as a minimum.

In reply to:
Yes I have jumped the cliff...It is a subterminal slider up jump in the +1000ft range. With a wingsuit ... well that's another story. You can use the whole height, about 3000ft with wings. I have seen people who not make it all the way but usually it is those guys who do not practice from airplanes. If you go there take the wingsuit with you. The landing area are pretty far away but with a good flight you can make it and even land on the disc ... otherwise you have big grass fields "before" the landing area so you will be okay even if you go for it and do not make it.
Usually being just for two days it is a pretty big chance (or risk if you will) to be weather out. Last year...they had bad weather but they did some jumps in the rain and between clouds ...
Going there is fun...it is a massive party (it looks like a war zone) and it is great to hang out with the Norwegians.
Hope this helps anyone who is thinking of going.
