I am delighted to let you know that Abbie has successfully completed her incredible skydive - below she writes about how it went:
"Well I have now undertaken the most exhilerating thing I have ever done in my life. Jumping from a plane some 12,500 feet up was the most amazing thing ever and not being one who feels particularly confident flying I'm so chuffed that I managed to do it. So going up in the plane had to be the scariest part for me and my nerves really kicked in when they opened the door for us all to jump out! Seconds before it was my turn to hurtle myself from the plane and freefall, for what seemed like ages, a slight feeling of doubt crossed my mind but there was no turning back. With my whole body shaking and my heart pounding, I managed to give my camera man a wave and a smile before leaping into the great expanse of sky in front of me and all around me. From that moment on it felt like I was dreaming. Words cannot describe the next 45 seconds or so.
Once the parachute had opened and we were floating down to the ground, I took a sneaky peak directly beneath me and the view was breathtaking. I caught my breath, took in the sights around me and after a few minutes landed carefully and softly thanks to Andy, the skydiving pro who had to listen to my ear piercing shrieks the whole
way down.....poor chap! ;o)
WOW!!!! What a rush."
Thank you to everyone who supported her.
