What does the activity include?
There is no greater sensation you can experience than to feel the thrill of free falling towards the earth at speeds of up to 120mph. Modern technology and high performance equipment now allows the' first-time' skydiver to leave the aircraft harnessed to an instructor and freefall for approximately 30 seconds. Just when you think the fun is over and the parachute is open, you then have an eXhilarating 5 minute parachute ride before landing safely back at the drop zone.
Your instructor will give you a thorough briefing on all aspects of your skydive including how to leave the aircraft, how to position yourself in freefall and how to steer the parachute to your landing point.
Then it’s the real thing! The aircraft will normally take around 15 minutes to climb to an altitude of between 10,000 and 12,000 feet. Your instructor will then guide you towards the door for the experience of a lifetime.
The sensation of freefalling for approximately 30 seconds is absolutely unbelievable before your instructor opens the parachute and you land safely back at the drop zone.

What should I wear/take?
Comfortable, loose clothing is recommended such as a tracksuit and a pair of training shoes and warm clothes in the winter. All other equipment will be supplied.
How long should I allow for this experience?
The jump itself only takes about 30 minutes but you should expect to spend up to a full day at the centre as you will undergo your training and then be scheduled to jump at some point during the day.
When does the activity take place?
