This was something I had always wanted to do from the age of 16 now at the age of 24 I had my chance. It was an amazing opportunity and a fantastic experience I would definitely recommend this to everyone, the amount of feelings that go through you when taking part in this is out of this world .... Mick my tandem partner was great, really funny all the way through the jump and talked me through everything that was going on and also told me all the areas that we could see while we were up there - Mick I would definitely be happy if I ever went back to do another one to do it with Mick - he filmed the full thing and got some amazing footage !!



Thanks for a outstanding experience �
