      It was terrifying!! The day we did it the weather wasn’t too good so there was a lot of waiting around and worrying. Then when there was a dry spot, we were quickly hauled into a tiny tiny plane without a door. It took about 5 minutes to get up to 11,000ft. Out of a group of around 8 people, I was the first to jump (which was probably for the best as I think I would have been even more scared if I’d have had to watch people go). But as soon as I was pushed out it was amazing!! I could see for miles and the instructor (who I was attached to) showed me the sights in the area. Landing was quite scary, but when I was safely on the ground the adrenalin was pumping through my veins! 10/10 would do it again
