There are nine days left to go until our sponsored skydive event and if you have been weighing up whether to sign up or not, we thought we would try and sway your decision. In an article last year, The Telegraph newspapers listed six reasons why everyone should consider taking part in a skydive. These include:
So now we have told you have amazing it is, why not find out for yourself by signing up for our sponsored tandem skydive! The event is being held at Beccles Airfield on Sunday 20th March 2016 and it costs just £50 to secure your place – though if you raise at least £300 of sponsorship you will get your skydive for FREE.
Before your skydive you will receive a 20 minute briefing, during which your instructor will give you a full explanation of what to expect and what you need to do once you are up in the air. Then, having soared to a height of around 13,000 feet (around 2 miles), you and your instructor will leave the plane and fall at a speed of approximately 120mph; descending 8,000 feet in just 40 seconds. On reaching this point, your chute will open and you can take in the stunning views of the Norfolk countryside as you glide back to Earth. A truly wonderful sight!
If you would like to find out more about this event, please get in touch with the team at UK Parachuting. You can call them on 01502 476131 or visit their website here.
