Would you ever do a skydive?

It's defiantly high up on my bucket list. A friend of mine did one a few years ago and she said it was the most thrilling thing shes ever done.

I apologise for last night’s response, wine had been consumed 🥴

It was, completely honest here, the most RELAXING experience I've ever had. Just having nothing around you, seeing for miles.. it's unexplainable.
Obviously getting out of the plane is a bit nerve racking.
I have a random fascination with tall buildings and like climbing up them (up the stairs, I'm not a free climber! I have a lift phobia though, which makes things tricky sometimes). Really want to abseil down a skyscraper.

I done a free fall parachute course in my late teens, progressed from statics to free fall.... I def prefer the statics, I was terrified my chute wouldn't open.... One time on a 3 second delay my chute came up between my legs.... Literally saw my life flash before my eyes.

But... I done 19 jumps and the adrenaline rush was nothing I've ever experienced again, I wouldn't be able to do it now!

I did a static line jump in my early twenties. I loved it at the time but never felt the urge to do it again. I remember how peaceful it was up in the air with the sun shining on my face.

I did one, the jump was great, the 30mins going up in a small plane was terrifying (not the flying but the thought of jumping). Glad I did it, will never do another.
Microlight though, would go again tomorrow.

I did one for my 30th. Cried on the way there. Convinced I was going to die. One of the most amazing things I've ever done
