WOOP WOOP!!
I along with 27 others jumped from 13,000ft, thats 500ft more than we thought we'd jumping from lol, and raised loads of lovely money for St Michaels hospice in Hereford... Well done to all jumpers and many many thanks for all those who helped, especially the instructors for being so calming and helpfull, especially when it came to throwing us from the plane lol
Hanns you're a star, though i'm not sure all that spinning on the way day down was exactly nescesary?!?!?! lol
I loved it so much.. man what a buzzz... I am looking into going to madrid to take an AFF( accelerated free fall) skydive course to become a qualified skydiver :)
and hopefully later in the year I will be taking part in a wing walk, once again for St Michaels. Keep you posted.
Half hour taster sessions still on an on goping promo. So if you live in or near the Hereford are and would like to try out a totally free half hour deep tissue massage? then come to my website and get in touch :O)

take care people and thanks again to you all for the past days

SkyDive 'UPDATE'
Hi,
well the 14th of August and my Charity Sky Dive has been and gone.....
The jump never happened............... I think for this day it was not meant to be........
My lift arrived on time at 6am and we set off to pick up one other.... we got lost looking for her address in the centre of the city lol, not the best start and already running late.
When we were travelling through Marlborough in Wilts when we had a phone call from one of the St Michaels organisers.... 'Help' came the call down the phone.." we have broke down at a garage near the M4".
Phoar... deep out breath and around we turn. You see they had all the medical forms for the 26 of us who were planning on taking the plunge, without which no-one would be able to jump so we had to go and get those to keep the day working.
Well, they had not actually broke down as such :D the driver, who shall remain nameless(Katie Farmer), after taking a P, knocked the key off the top of the loo and yes after she had just press the flush button and yes you have guessed it.... the soddin key went around the bend..... I can feel your tears of laughter already ha ha ha
Well the glass had already been smashed and the paperwork was there waiting so we could straight away turn about and head off on our journey to the jump site, quite far behind schedule now.
Arrived and booked in only to find out my medical form, although signed had not been stamped!!! So you see, this was most definitely not meant to happen on this day.... though I kept fighting it and with the aid of a great doctor.. who was tracked down to just off of Harley St in London, allowed us to fax him another form with which he then signed and stamped and faxed back :D
So finally I was told "yes" I felt like and orange on the DelMonty estate just before it was to get squashed...
Waited around, listened to people getting seriously upset, winding themselves up with tails of woe and worry lol i just walked away and chose not to listen. It is a scary enough situation without putting yourself through unnecessary added stress I can assure you.
16 of our group managed to get up and take the free fall plunge when at 4pm it got rather cloudy, again, and has had been happening throughout the day. Only thinhg was this time it was realy low, 2,500ft and this time it never shifted and so at 19:00 they sent us home and re-scheduled the rest of us for this coming wednesday.
Fingers crossed this will be my time....
My thoughts and love go out to the family of and the guy who jumped from 10,00 this weekend and whos shute never opened. He is in hospital with critical head injuries....
A rare and very sad event and i wish him a full and speedy recovery
Love Geoff x
