Description
Come and Parachute for Princess Alice Hospice!
Join us in a Tandem sky dive, free fall and fundraise for a great cause!
Time: All Day
Distance: 10,000 feet tandem freefall
Location: The airfield is near Maidstone in Kent.
Costs: £100 booking deposit and a minimum of £295 in sponsorship.
Overview:
Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft flying at 10,000 feet - the noise of the engines and the wind ringing in your ears with only the outline of distant fields below. Now imagine leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go - falling forward into the clouds, diving down through the air as you start freefalling at over 120mph! Then imagine the peace and quiet as the canopy opens, the steering toggles come down either side of you and you begin a tranquil parachute descent from a mile up in the air, steering yourself back down to the centre of the drop zone below. Imagine being able to do this for FREE whilst harnessed to a professional freefall parachute instructor and at the same time being able to help Princes Alice Hospice! Stop imagining, it's real and it's happening all the time and you can be part of it...
Technically the jump is called a 'Tandem Skydive'. It is a Skydive because you will be freefalling through the air (without the parachute deployed) for several thousand feet; it is in Tandem because you will be harnessed to a professional parachute instructor at all times throughout the descent. This is the only way you can jump from such an altitude without spending thousands of pounds becoming a freefall parachutist.
