November 17th had arrived AT LAST and I was extreemly excited because not only was today my birthday -  it was also the day I got to do TANDEM          SKYDIVE from the Black Knights Parachute Centre.!! I had a surprise for the rest of my family too - I announced that I was not the ONLY one doing this    today  - as I had booked a skydive for my daughter Rachel & Son in Law Dave too!  WHAT A DAY WE HAD!.  By the afternoon the weather was just right and we were soon flying at 14,000ft.  Dave was the first to leave the aircraft with his instructor Bill and cameraman Danny, followed 20 seconds later by Rachel with instructor George and cameraman Steve then it was my turn with instructor Chris and cameraman Neil.  WOW WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!
EXHILARATING, AWSOME! FANTASTIC!! to say the least.  We are all ready to do another one as SOON AS WE CAN.  Below are photos of our day!

Chris prepares my harness for the dive and as you can see I am rearing to GO!!

My cameraman Neil is seen here filming before the skydive.  Becky my little Grand Daughter is enjoying every second!

After the skydive I thanked Chris and he said I was the best "student"he'd had that day - not BAD - considering that in fact I was the ONLY ONE that day!!  click here TO SEE AERIAL SHOTS
