You peeps have got to try it.

Did a tandem jump on Sat, jumped out of a perfectly good plane at 12,000ft. 40 seconds of free fall and bang out pops the parachute.

I cannot explain the amazing feeling of the free fall, apparently we were doing over 120mph at a rate of around 2,000ft for every 10 seconds . it was such a buzz that i'm going to do it again.

Me and a bloke from work are tinking about doing our license so we can go and jump when ever we want.

well at headcorn in maidstone it costs about £200 plus extra if you want it filmed.

The DVD and still photos (24) cost £115. Well worth it for the memory

Deffo must do this at some point. Looks fantastic.

Also, if you can't afford the £200 odd to do it there is another way. There are a few charitys, that if you raise £500 in sponsorship, you go for freeeeeeeeeeeeee

The place we went to you only needed to raise 340, it broke down as follows:

£240 Jump and administratrion
£100 sponsorship

But I managed to raise £680 which resulted in the charity recieving £440.

In total there were 9 of us that raised simular figures so the charity did very well.
