Skydive in June

Weight limits

This is dependant on the airfield but is usually up to 18 stone. A surcharge of approximately £10 may apply for every stone over 15 stone. During the booking process you will be able to see the maxiumum weight limit for your chosen airfield.

Spectators

Bringing friends and family is encouraged! It's recommend that they arrive about an hour after your arrival time – this would give you time to have your training and get kitted up.

Jumps are weather dependent, so it's not usually possible to specify a jump time prior to the day.

You will receive an arrival time once you are confirmed with the airfield – this is when you will check in and receive your training for the jump. The jump time would depend on the weather and how many other people are booked in that day. There is a small chance you could wait all day until you jump. The airfields do operate a first come first served basis – so the earlier you arrive the earlier you will jump!

Target Ovarian Cancer

Stop ovarian cancer devastating lives.

Throughout the month of June, all across the country, supporters will take on a skydive for Target Ovarian Cancer, with every jump raising vital funds and awareness for the 7,000 women who are diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the UK each year. 

Age requirements

For the tandem skydives the minimum age is 16. However anyone aged 16 or 17 would need to have a parental consent form on the day of their jump. You will have access to this once you have booked.

A few of the airfields have an upper age limit for tandem jumps: Cornwall has an upper age limit of 65, Lancaster and Whitchurch have a limit of 70 and Perthshire has a limit of 49.

Costs

When my wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, what she went through and all the help she had before and after the operation, made me realise this was the time to do something to highlight this terrible disease.

Jumping out of a plane at 12,000ft may seem a crazy thing to do but I have to say it was exhilarating! It takes fifteen minutes to climb to 12,000ft, that itself is exciting, then jumping out, what an adrenaline rush it was!

 

Thirty seconds of freefall, then the parachute opens, the clouds clear, then the realisation of how high you are!A marvellous experience I would recommend it to all, young and old! Roy
