Foiled by the weather!! Too windy, needed to keep under 20knots but was reaching 23 with prediction to 30knots so had to abandon. Stood around for two hours, but had briefing and all that stuff so next time should be quicker.

BBC South and Kick FM did film/interviews etc. I think BBC have a ten minute slot this evening but don't know what time, if I'm on at all I'll be on the left of picture.

Rescheduled for Friday 6th so will keep you posted. Kick FM also back on Friday, not sure about BBC.

By the way its not too late to sponsor!!

hope you enjoy it!

i did a 12,000ft tandem skydive a few years ago and it was sooooo worth doing! very surreal looking up at the sky afterwards and thinking i was just plummeting through the clouds 10 mins ago...

it's also great doing a tandem cos it means you can't chicken out - the instructor jumps and woahhhhh - so do you!

ask the pilot to go even higher, do a HALO jump

then remember to gather parachute, stash it where enemy wont find it and covertly go on the killing spree that the government will deny, wait no sorry wrong parachute jumping course!! LOL
