Imagine this… you’re sitting in the doorway of an aircraft, your feet dangling below you. You look up and see the clouds above – you’re flying at 14,000 feet! Imagine leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go, falling into the clouds below, free-falling at over 120mph before the parachute opens and you begin to descend over the beautiful local countryside. Take a deep breath, make the leap and book your place today. It will be the most exhilarating thing you ever do! Raise £432 or more and jump for free!
