 :crazy:

I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would willingly jump out of a perfectly servicable aircraft.


Good luck  :-D

Good luck with that!

I bet once you did it, it'll be a case of "yeah! let's do it again!"

Maybe that was the plan all along ...

Maybe the jump wasn't really supposed to go ahead at all :lol:

You can raise money for charity and have a cunning plan at the same time you know.

Sorry, couldn't resist ;-)

You definately have a point there, mate :-D

I was thinking this (re the weather) but the instructor said that they jump all through the winter, and that the only way winter affects them is the fact that you have less hours of daylight. I suppose when you think about how many consecutive days of brilliant weather we have in England each year, he kind of has a point.

Today's my rescheduled date!

A friend has kindly offered to turn out at this hour on a Saturday morning and she'll be picking me up in a few mins

Fingers crossed it'll go ahead today!

Frickin ey dude, you get to jump out of a plane and gather money for a charity with it? Heck, I'd pay to do the same!

Congrats dude!

Glad you made it back :-P

I could never do it unless it was an emergency situation :nervous:

Thanks

To be honest it wasn't actually scary, just surreal. I guess it must have been the adrenaline. It was like some bizarre dream...
