Default Tandem Skydive

Hey Up

On the 01st of March i am doing a tandem skydive for the charity kids count....

Being the nutter i am I will be jumping from the plane from 15,000 ft and the fall will last round about 2 minutes, i am petrified but have always wanted to do it and for a good cause

I am asking my fellow scooby owners to dig deep and sponsor me....

My sponsor page is Justgiving - Sarah-Louise Walker's Fundraising Page

Did it over Lake Taupo, New Zealand 2 yrs ago.

"Awesome" ! Quietly laughed at one of my fellow "Fallschirmjaegern", an Irish lass who was clearly quite terrified as we got ready at the airfield. However, I also got that "heart in your mouth" feeling when they opened that big door on the side of the plane and the first guy went ! I jumped with a German bloke who happened to be an ex world champion freestyle jumper - hence the slightly nauseating double rollover as we left the plane !

The freefall from that height is indeed in the region of 2 mins - great fun, as is serenely floating down with the chute open.

Enjoy !

good luck with raising the funds and enjoy the fall
i've left a donation so hopefully i can get away with saying if you land on your front you've got a good chance of bouncing back up (if that doesn't get the sharks to your site nothing will )
