Notice my instructor has earplugs in?!

Skydiving was incredible. I didn’t end up being too scared on the day; in fact, I was  more nervous before the Cole Classic ocean swim the next day!

The plane was pretty tiny – there was room for about 10 of us. What really made the plane journey was the stunning view of Wollongong beach which eventually became a tiny speck when we got to 14,000 ft.

There was no time wasting when we got to the right altitude. I was second to jump and I was more excited than nervous! That first moment when you realise you’re not supported by anything, that realisation of the freefall is indescribable. If I become a millionaire, I’m taking up skydiving as my sport just so I can feel that rush every day.

My instructor said I just giggled the whole time during the free fall

I think I’m going to become a sky diving addict. I’ve even considered doing a course so I can get qualified to jump by myself. But I don’t think I trust myself enough to jump out of a plane with nothing but myself responsible for my life!

So, for now, I’m going to stick with the skydiving with an instructor. Anyone up for coming with me again?! 

Here are some of the photos – they are stills from a video I got so they’re a bit grainy but you get the idea!!

Why on earth did I sign up for skydiving?! I’m booked in to go on 5th Feb down in Wollongong. And I’m starting to get nervous!

Have you been?

Do you have any hot tips for me?  Close my eyes? Wear a nappy?! Create a will before I go? Help!!
