If its any consolation, I really, really, really hate heights. But Ive done a jump and its one of the most memorable few minutes of my life in an interesting, youd have to get me seriously drunk to agree to do it again but glad I did it kind of way.

Though Id suggest earplugs for the guy you're strapped to if you do what I did and scream the entirety of the freefall

not far off the target amount now. please dig your hands in to your pockets and sponsor nutty for this as it's a worthwhile cause and i'll even post some clips of the video that i'm going to pay for

You should really enjoy then, I've known one or two skydivers who where scared of heights. Its a different kind of feeling looking out of the door of an aircraft at 10,000 ft as it is standing on top of a tall building etc.

And if you don't like flying, all the more reason to get out of the plane.

The biggest shock you will feel is when the canopy opens (and thats pretty mild), if you have good tandem instructor the landing should be just like stepping off a small...... err, step.

You will love it

just been on my web site for donations and may i just say a big huge massive thank you to sharriso74. he sponsored me £20 in May and has today sponsored a further £85. very very generous for someone i have not met and not really spoken too. its a great cause though and i will definitely need to go thru with it. i wonder if my ex husband is paying him, if so I hope my tandem man is not on his pay roll too.

once again sharriso thanx

dont say things like that, the south coast of england will go into hiding. but i suppose jumping out of a plane without a bra on will save me having to close my eyes, wont see a thing
