Free Falling...

Since I can remember I have been itching to do a Skydive, it's been top of my life list for far too long. I had originally planned on doing one for my 18th birthday and then I stupidly forgot at the time and put it off for my 21st. So, three days after my birthday I finally did it, here are some snaps of the big day and my thoughts on it all...

Always pulling a silly face...

Ready and rearing to go...

The Dave that was my tandem buddy...
 
Falling from 10,000 feet with a grin on my face...

Afterwards, looking windswept and feeling invincible... 

I am someone who loves adrenaline activities and is never afraid of a roller-coaster, so I had no nerves about the dive. It all happened very quickly, I got into my blue suit, met Dave, and the next thing I knew we were walking towards the plane.

The jump itself was just amazing, it was such an incredible feeling and I would do it again in a heartbeat. At points, it was strange adjusting to the difficulty breathing in that situation of falling quickly etc. and my ears hurt a bit. But, nothing could beat the feeling of falling through clouds and coming out of them gliding with the parachute open, taking in the English countryside and chilling before it was time to land. Just exquisite.

Above all I am just so glad that I ticked off one of my biggest desires and I encourage anyone who reads this to do the same.

Enjoy,
SRJ
