Freefalling




Hi Everyone,


Rachel jumped at last! She completed her tandem parachute jump from 12,000ft at South Cerney air base last Sunday (1st March)

Well done! There is absolutely no way you would get me to do that. Just curious, was that picture taken before or after the jump? If it was after you are looking way too calm.

Well done Rachel. Rather you than us. Uncle Terry and Auntie Joan

Well Steven, the photo was taken before the jump. I would have thought that I would have been less calm before! I was nervous just watching.

Wow, well done. I'm another one that doesn't fancy doing that! Dx

Very well done Rachel! You are very brave - I definitely couldn't do it!!

Thank you for all your sponsorship everyone. I've only just seen this post!
The feeling of jumping out was very similar to that of going down a huge dip on a rollercoaster, but with a much more impressive view. Once the parachute opened, everything suddenly seemed so eerily quiet and calm and I had a good five minutes to take in the views and learn how to steer. It was an amazing experience and I would definitely have another go.
