There's only six of us on the trip at the moment but five of us went sky diving along with Claire the tour leader who is apparently addicted to it.
It was a lot less nerve racking than I expected. The only point where I thought "oh shit, what am I doing" was when we actually fell out of the plain and there was a tumbling sensation where I wondered where the ground was and where the sky was. But it levelled out pretty soon and the guy soon had me spinning in a circle before the 30 seconds free fall was over and he pulled the chute. Got to stere around a bit on the decent until the guy took over for the landing. It was all over pretty quickly but what a buzz! My photos didn't come out as the guy doing to filming forgot to turn it on or something but the video did come out and Georgie took some photos on my camera as I was landing anyway so not the biggest lost.
