Skydive

Well, 31st May was a couple of days ago, and the weather was perfect, even though the forecast predicted otherwise. Woke up on the morning and stuck my head out of the tent to see an absolutely gorgeous morning, few clouds here and there, but just ended up making it more interesting. I spent the whole morning feeling very nervous (not so surprisingly,) but what was surprising was when I climbed into that plane, it all disappeared. No nausea, no butterflies, just excited.
This is going to be so difficult to put into words, the feeling I felt during the whole trip really was out of this world! You can almost imagine it, I was up there in the plane and shuffling towards the open door to see white clouds at the same level as me, thinking “it can’t be that difficult, all I can see is white, what’s there to be afraid of?” then when I got to the edge and looked down, there it was, 12,500 ft of nothing between me and the ground. So I though to myself, lets just do it! So I tucked my legs under the plane so my feet touched the underside, rest my head back against my tandem diver, and then, all of a sudden I was hurling through the air at 128 mph towards the ground… this is the bit that is really hard to describe! It honestly felt amazing and I would recommend it to everyone to do, I mean, I’m certainly going to do it again. What made it even more interesting, I was the last to leave the plane, and after I left, it nose-dived, it was absolutely incredible to see a plane like that dive when you are that close to it. I should say a HUGE thank you to Kate for setting me up with this, what a fantastic 21st birthday present.
I have attached some photos and please message me with any questions.
