Skydiving

Yesterday we travelled inland to York for me to throw myself out of a plane. The jump was a Christmas present from Wes and is something I have always wanted to do. I thought at some point I would get butterflies or be full of nerves, but I was surprisingly OK. George got upset in the morning as he wanted to jump with me and asked me if I was scared, but I told him I would be fine as long as he gave me the biggest cuddle ever when I landed. As you can see from the photos, he was running towards me as soon as I touched the ground. I jumped from 10,000 feet, with a 30 second free fall. It was totally amazing, a bit chilly when you first jump out and really noisy as you free fall. It was a tad painful when the parachute opened, as you are yanked upwards, but the views on descent were amazing. I landed safely and would definitely do it again.....and higher next time!!!
