I was challenged to do a tandem jump for charity at the beginning of the year. The date finally came up and guess what, it was sunny blue skies. I did my jump from ten thousand feet – that was high enough for me and it was a lovely experience. The instructor (Charlie) really helped to explain things for me, told me what to do in the aeroplane and how to adopt the a freefall body position.
It all went smoothly, although very fast. I’m going to come back next year, do another charity jump and this time really go for it with a skydive from the highest altitude which I believe is fifteen thousand feet. Can’t wait!
