The ultimate exhilaration! Leap out of an aircraft at 12500' and freefall more than 7000' before your parachute opens and you descend leisurely to the ground. Because you have a Tandem Instructor Parachute Instructor securely attached to your back, you're free to enjoy the whole experience whilst your Tandem Instructor controls everything. 

Tandem Parachuting only requires about 20 minutes of ground school - remember, it's the Tandem Instructor on your back who does all the work. Apart from looking at the scenery you don't have a lot to do during the descent unless you've paid a little extra for a cameraman to film the jump, in which case you can concentrate on smiling for the camera for your 35 seconds of freefall!

Whilst it may be possible to arrange for Tandem Jumps at short notice, it is best to book at least 3 weeks in advance of your chosen date.

Booking: Stay at Manor Farm B&B and receive a preferential rate for your tandem skydive. We also take care of the booking and provide all the necessary paperwork.
