our adventure
Today was flying day for the two of us!
It started with climbing into a very sexy red jumpsuit, then being fitted to a harness and given a hat, goggles and some gloves. After being shown a safety video, we were marched out to a tiny plane. As the plane climbed and climbed working its way up to 12000ft, we were connected to our flying buddies. Then the doors opened and out jumped Dave - then it was my turn.
There was no time to be scared or to hesitate. It took a few seconds to realise that I'd actually left the plane but when I had - oh my god!!!!!! I could feel my cheeks blowing about in the wind, which made trying to smile for my pictures really hard. You could see for miles and miles and everything looked so titchy tiny below me.
Then I was yanked upwards as Lynette pulled out the parachute. We'd already come down 8000ft in the space of 45 seconds and had the last 4000ft to enjoy the view!! As we circled around and around the land got closer and closer, until we hit the grass with a bump and it was all over.
As soon as I landed I wanted to go back up again - it was one of the most amazing things I've ever done. Don't worry mum, nothing's broken or bruised this time!!! xx
