Nothing can beat the exhilaration you feel
after your first parachute jump from a plane at 3,000 feet. This is one
of the most challenging sports ever invented! Supervised by British
Parachuting Association instructors, your ground training is rigorous
and you must be fit. Jump from the plane on a "static line" that opens
your steerable parachute automatically, freeing you to enjoy your
breathtaking descent.

course is usually runs over 2 days and includes fitness testing

What happens on the day
Usually run over 2 days, with intensive parachute and landing training, as part of a small group.
When
you arrive, you will be enrolled as a provisional member of the British
Parachute Association and issued with the appropriate equipment. The
first day will consist of ground training which is a mixture of
practical and theory. Your static-line jump will usually take place on
the second day.
If you wish to stay overnight, many parachuting
clubs can offer inexpensive (but basic!) accommodation (this is not
covered by your voucher). If you are interested you should enquire
about this when you make your booking.
