Good luck with it. I have only done the one. I did a static line as we were allowed to do those by ourselves after a weekends training whereas the sky dive has to be a tandem jump until you are more experienced.

I sat on the edge of the plain wishing the bloke would hurry up and push me. I froze but so wanted to jump. he did push me and it was amazing. It is so peaceful floating down to the ground. Its very quiet and you can see for miles.

Wow sounds amazing

I was supposed to be jumping on the 1st October but the weather meant the started jumping late so by the time it got to my turn it was getting too dark

I did get to watch the others jumping and it did make me feel a lot better about doing it

I could have opted for the solo jump but thought I'd try the tandem first!

That almost happened to me. We hung around the airfiled froma bout 10am and eventually jumped at around 6pm. Some people didn't want to hang around waiting so decided to do it another day. We got to jump then some more people should have been going but I think the weather chnaged and they couldn't.

I would have been gutted if I hadn't done it that day.
