10/09/2018 05:49:44Now Offering The drop Zero Tech This is as above but with NO GPS tracking, you will be free of all tech and the outside world, we wont know where you are, once you exit the bus at the drop point no one will know anything until you return to HQ! With the removal of the GPS tracking we are able to greatly reduce the cost to just £14.00. You can enter solo or as a team... everything else works the same as the Standard GPS tracked drop.
