In the Air
Skydiving
Jump from a plane, with a tandem instructor or on a trained first jump course. Most first jumps are tandem. You are strapped to an instructor who handles the parachute and the landing, and you enjoy the fall.
Expect a short safety briefing, a climb to height in a small plane, about a minute of free fall, then a quieter ride under the canopy. Allow a half day, as weather delays are common.
The quick facts
Who it suits
Adults who want a big rush. Most providers set a minimum age, a weight limit and a health check.
Best time of year
Spring to autumn, though the sky has to be clear. Many centres run all year when the weather allows.
Typical price
£200 to £350 for a tandem jump
A guide only. Prices change, so check with the provider.
