Why not grab a friend, family member or work colleagues and head to the skies together?
A Tandem skydive allows you to experience the thrill of freefall skydiving with just a brief training session. You will skydive harnessed to the front of a fully qualified parachuting instructor from 14,000ft. You will enjoy an adrenaline packed freefall reaching terminal velocity at 120mph, followed by approximately 5 minutes flying gently to the ground under the parachute.
The jump will cost £270 which can be self-funded and then you can raise money on top, or alternatively you can just raise money to pay for the dive and then the extra raised on top will be a donation to us. You will just need to make sure when people donate they are aware some of their donation will be covering the cost of the dive. There is a £60 deposit (included in the £270). More information is available at Tandem Skydive – Skydive Langar – Jump from 14000ft
