Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Sykdivers Peter Jones (my other half) and Daley Wear (my cousin) are going to be doing a Skydive in September (weather and booking space permitting !)

They will be doing a Tandem Skydive. The tandem is arguably the best way to experience their first freefall! They will geta 30 minute ground briefing on the equipment, exiting the aircraft, freefalland landing. They are then securely attached to an experienced tandem instructor with a 4 point harness system, and board the aircraft.

The aircraft will normally climb to around 10 000 to 12 000 feet where they will exit and begin to freefall. They will reach speeds of approximately 120 miles per hour. The freefall ends at around 5 000 feet when the tandem instructor will deploy the main parachute and they begin their descent under canopy. This will last between 4 to 6 minutes as they will fly towards the landing area.

There will be have professional cameramen available to capture the moment !!!! The time and date of the jump will depend on weather and the number of jumpers attending the course.

Spectators and supporter to hold my hand  are welcome, at the moment they plan to do the jump from Whitchurch, Shropshire on a Fri and Sat.
