Video from the jump

I've been saying I'd like to do a parachute jump for years - but never actually done anything about it.

Michelle surprised me by arranging a tandem jump for my upcoming 40th Birthday present. (You know what they say...be careful what you wish for...you might get it).

Jump was excellent - climbed out of the plane at 14,000 ft, freefall to 6,000 ft in about 50 seconds at 120mph, then parachute the remainder - taking about another 3 minutes.

It was absolutely fantastic - once I'd worked out how to breathe!

High Quality Wmv - broadband only....

 

 

I'm the one looking terrified strapped underneath Kevin with the parachute

I made the jump with the Black Knights Parachute Centre

Thanks to Paul and Julie for the moral support and for taking the pictures - I'll get them here asap, but here's just one of the ones Paul took for now
