Yes, Someone Else Doing A Parachute Jump!

[Angel]

Hi everyone,

Thanks to Tegan's inspiration I signed up to do a 10,000ft tandem parachute jump as well. :)

My jump will take place on 11th June. It's one of those things I've always wanted to do but never got round to it! I've done a couple of sponsored abseils down building but never anything like this!

The money I raise will be going to The Lavender Trust, breast cancer care (same charity as Tegan).

Any sponsors will be greatly received.

I've set up a sponsor form on line, so if you wish to sponsor me please click here

Two more days... Nervous? ;)

[Angel]

Oh yes!!!! Managed to raise £482 so far. Would like to hit the £500 mark before Sunday!! I'll let you know how I get on and will post pic when I get one! Well everyone here goes, wish me luck!!!!

[Angel]

Well I’ve done it!!! It was such an amazing feeling!! I would recommend it to anyone!

We arrived at the airfield about 10.30am. Told them I had arrived and they wrote my name on a big white board. About 2 hours later was called for my briefing, which made me even more nervous! I walked away afterwards thinking what if I forget everything he’s just told me?!

I completed all the paperwork and ordered pics and DVD. My name was called out over the loud speaker at 1.40pm to get my flight suit on and harnessed up! GULP!!

I walked out the plane with butterflies doing somersaults in my stomach! We boarded the plane, very cosy!! My instructor, Steve pointed out several land marks to me and then attaches me to his harness, a couple of solos jumped first and then another girl doing a tandem went. It was my turn!! We stand up, I tuck my legs up under Steve and I am dangling from his harness. We waddle to the doorway, and we are off, my ears popped, (actually still not back to normal yet!) I looked around and saw the bottom of the plane! I kept smiling at the camera girl, (well I think I was smiling! Will have to wait to see on the DVD!)

It was such a fantastic feeling!! Falling towards the ground so fast and nothing stopping you! All of a sudden Steve opens the chute and we are in a standing position. Gracefully we float down to the ground. Steve let me take control of the striring, with instructions from Steve. He took back the controls and we head to our landing spot.

Legs up, in case we land on our bum and then at the last minute and shouts “Stand” and we land on our feet, with a little run.

Anyway guys, I’d like to thank you all that sponsored me. I raised a total of £502!! Thanks guys!!

P.S. More pics to follow when I've got them sorted.
