I was so lucky....the day was beautiful.....blue skies, a few clouds and amazing sunshine! I guess I was a little bit apprehensive but there was a group of us and I had my wife and friend to support me. We arrived around 10am, unbeknown to us we were the last group to jump for the day. There was quite a bit of waiting around but I was buzzed and there was café to go to if outside was too cold. I always wanted to do this, for a few years I had been talking about it but doing it only came about when the Firefighters charity approached me at work and I was sold. I was on the only female in the group. The staff gave us a thorough induction and made you feel so at ease. When it was time to gear up around 1pm some nerves escaped me but my tandem buddy Hans was really reassuring. I made a bold statement that I was to jump first as I was the only girl and that meant the men had to follow! It was a 10,000ft jump. Surprisingly when I was hanging out of the plane whilst Hans was rocking 3 times to push us out I felt so calm! Then when my body felt the drop it was the most immense feeling. The air swallowed my scream and all I could do was look at the gorgeous views around me. The freefall was over too quickly and the parachute was deployed. Hans asked me if I wanted to do and 360 degree turn and I was like yeah ok! The nice little saunter down to the ground was so much fun. The landing was gentle bump and I was exhilarated! Thank you GOSKYDIVE! We rushed back to the main reception and the first thing I needed was cake! I'm very tempted to come back maybe next year and jump the 15,000ft. Kirstie :) xx
