Parachute Jump

I have finally booked and paid for a parachute jump. I've always wanted to do it but like many things I say, I want to do something and never do. I'm gonna be jumping from Peterlee Parachute Centre, it's costing me £250 but will be worth every penny when I'm hurtling towards the earth at 120 mph!!!

I'm doing a tandem jump which means I'm strapped to an instructor and he pulls the chute, the only other one I could really do was a static line jump. Where when you jump out of the plane the parachute comes straight out but I want to freefall and with a tandem you have the added bonus of not having to do 6 hours of training 1st :-)

I think most people thought I wouldn't do it when I've been mentioning it for the last couple of works but this is the start of turning my life around and actually doing things I want, rather than just letting life pass me by.
