The sponsored skydive was successfully completed on Sunday 24th April, with the weather finally holding out. It was a full on adrenaline rush from start to finish. At 12,000 feet I exited the plane with two instructors and then went through freefall for around 40 seconds till we had descended to the height of 5,000 feet, where upon I opened the parachute. It was a bit nerving to look up and see that the lines where twisted but thanks to the training I had received I was competent, and clam enough, to know what to do to rectify it. After that it was a gentle return to earth with a smooth landing. An amazing experience!
