Skydive

Every year we have more and more people signing up for skydives so why not have a taster of this exhilarating sport whilst also raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust?

We have organised a skydiving event at Sibson Airfield, Peterborough on 20 September. All you have to do is pledge a minimum sponsorship of £400 and in return you can skydive for free!

If you can't make this date, there are twelve alternative dedicated Cystic Fibrosis Trust skydive events around the country which we hope you will be able to attend.

Alternatively, you can organise your own skydive for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust through Skyline who organise jumps all-year-round at 24 locations throughout the UK.

What does tandem skydiving involve?
It is a Skydive because you will be freefalling through the air (without the parachute deployed) for several thousand feet; it is in Tandem because you will be harnessed to a professional parachute instructor at all times throughout the descent. This is the only way you can jump from such an altitude without spending thousands of pounds becoming a freefall parachutist. This is literally the chance of a lifetime.

What's it like?
Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft flying at up to 12,000 feet - the noise of the engines and the wind ringing in your ears with only the outline of distant fields below. Now imagine leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go - falling forward into the clouds, diving down through the air as you start freefalling at over 120mph! Then imagine the peace and quiet as the canopy opens, the steering toggles come down either side of you and you begin a tranquil parachute descent from a mile up in the air, steering yourself back down to the centre of the drop zone below. Well you can stop imagining because it's real and you can do it at an airfield near you....
