Peterborough EVENTS

  I know, lets do a skydive for charity they said.....

So 4 team members said "Ok then, we are up for that ....(Team Fleur)

Day 1 cancelled for... read more Covid 19, day 2 cancelled for bad weather (even in the plane ready) but finally, next day (Oh great....!!!!)

Training was good and all the instructors are good fun and have a laugh (Phil,James,Sam,ect.)
Well organised and told everything you need to know even the bits you dont want to know .....

Tibi was my instructor for the experience and Rhian my camera woman (both really great at their job)

Then kitted up with the instructor, harnessed up then wait for the plane.....
Next getting on the plane, easy bit, setting off easy bit, 1, then 2, then 3 & 4 circles up to 13000 ft yes 13000ft.
That was all the easy bit. Then my instrutor (Tibi) said red light we ready green we GO .......

Rhian got out on the ledge (door, wing, who knows I wasn't looking at that point)

Next thing I know I was at the door, feet out, head back then off we went at around 120 - 150 mph.
What a buzz is all I can say my nerves and adrenalin fell out of the bottom of my trousers, I think....
Rhian was my camera woman who jumped at the same time and followed us most of the way, taking pictures n video (if you do the jump, well worth the cash)

Time seemed to stand still for ages, free falling (what a buzz) then next thing I know we can see the land below.
The shute opened and a gentle ride down to the ground, the view was awesome Yarmouth Lowestoft ect. all the fields.
Tibi said "Legs up" then we touched down, nice smooth landing......
That was it all over in a few mins, felt a lot longer.....

Many thanks to the whole team at Uk Parachuting Beccles for a real good professional bucket list day!
Many thanks to all the sponsors that donated to our cause "Nelson's Journey"
And last but not least to Hayley, Stu and Ben for not backing out.

Blue skies and sunny days!

p.s. When you do go, don't forget to ask the instuctors "How are you today?" They feel left out if not. (Phil and James especially, bless em)
