Hi Bruce

Many thanks for an excellent skydive experience last week - it was worth the wait.

As a semi-professional writer I make a habit of recording the details of events I have experienced before the memory fades. My take on our skydive is attached. It may end up in a magazine or newspaper one day! Feel free to use any or all of it in your own promotional literature if you want to.

Thanks too to Jeremy for the DVD - very professional. I've now got the Gorillaz and U2 tracks on my ipod!

Hi all,

Just wanted to drop you guys an email to say thank you for an amazing jump. It truly was breath taking and the minute we landed I wanted to go again. I hope we didn't come across too evil just desperate to get up there!

Being strapped to Loz obviously made up for the wait - 10 fold... :o)

Take care, hope to see you at our next tandem!

Hi there,

Back in 2000 I lost part of my right forearm during an incident with a neighbour and a shotgun. Due to the skills of the surgeons at Morriston Hospital in Swansea, I still have the arm and my hand is pretty functional.

Thanks to you guys and the staff at Curves gym in South Wales I was able to raise a little more than £500 which I am donating to the Burns and Plastic Surgery unit in Morriston hospital. A mere drop in the ocean by some standards, but a great achievement for me, none the less.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks once again, for what was the most exciting thing that I have done so far. I would have loved to have stayed around and watched everybody else jump, but pressure from elsewhere meant I had to leave.

To Jez,

Thanks for the fantastic footage, both on the DVD and the still shots (Sun 10th Sept, 1st flight, 1st jump). Everytime I watch the DVD everything comes flooding back and as yet is keeping me on a high. I expect that will fade eventually, but right now, I still want to do it all over again, only higher next time.

Please pass the following onto Andy Shaw, as I know he has "other" work commitments!

To Andy,

Thank you for what has to be the best hour of my life so far. (Sun 10th Sept, 1st flight, 1st jump). I am so glad you managed to hang onto your shades. I had not realised just how close you actually came to losing them, but Jez's excellent photography showed me. Thought you might like to see for yourself, if you haven't seen it already. I definitely want to jump again, but from higher this time, and do more swoops, turns etc. Would love to receive any advice on how to achieve this. Hope to meet you again one day.

Hello all!

Thank you for all for being so friendly and calming on Sunday when I came up for a tandem skydive.

I thoroughly enjoyed it (after I had had time to get over the excitement!) Andy was spot on when he said we would be asleep in our pints by 8pm.

I have finally finished telling everyone about it and may even drag my brother up to have a go in the future as he thinks he may like to have a go now.

Thank you to Jez for the camera work-I had not realised how many pics he had taken. The pictures are fantastic and the every one loves the DVD-I have not had it since Mon as its still doing the rounds.

And finally thanks to Lee for the ride and uber soft landing!
See you all again sometime.

Thank you all.

Hi Andy,

Thank you SO much for such an amazing experience, i had a stupid amount of highness and animation after the drive home. But that's not the last you are going to see of me I'm afraid, I will be back next year. What's the next stage...that static line thing?

Also, please can you say thanks to Jez for me, I received the DVD today and I am so happy with it, twas worth every penny, though the pictures have made me realise how big my nose is!!!

I've attached a couple of pics.

Thank yoooooooooooou!!!!

Hi ya

Just thought I would mail to say thanks again for yesterday - Paul and I
are very grateful and I am very pleased that its over !!!
Could you pass on my thanks to Lee and tell him I'm sorry I didn't get him
a cup of tea but I think I was in shock until about 7pm last night !!!
And pass on Pauls thanks to Andy - they were both really nice to us and
made us much less nervous, if that's possible !

Thanks again

Dear All,

I just wanted to let you know what a fantastic day I had last Saturday!

Initially, when I received my Red Letter Day experience for my birthday last
year, admittedly, my heart sank. A skydive was NEVER on my 'to do' list,
and I really didn't think that I could do it. Of course, I didn't tell my
family that and, if I'm honest, I only turned up on Saturday because I
didn't want to let them down.

When I met Gerry, my Instructor, I was immediately put at my ease. He was
friendly, reassuring and witty, as was my photographer, whose name, I'm so
sorry to have to say, has escaped me (that'll be an age thing!). He was
really great too... When we were on the plane, I really didn't feel as
nervous as I thought I would. Even when the door opened and we sat with our
feet out at 10,000 feet, I felt secure knowing that Gerry was with me. The
whole experience was a pleasure from start to finish, mainly due to the
professionalism, care and dedication of the Team I was entrusted to.

I have watched my DVD over and over, completely amazed that I DID IT! (I am
also amazed at how quickly the DVD came through - what service!) I will
DEFINITELY do it again, and this from a woman who used to have a fear of
heights and flying!!

So, thank you so much for my experience. Please pass my thanks on to all
those who were with me last week, particularly Gerry. I can honestly say
that the memory will stay with me forever. I'm so glad I did it, and I
can't wait to do it again.

Yours sincerely,

Marie Hall,

Just a short note to say thankyou for a fantastic jump last Sunday. (There's a joke or two in there somewhere!)

It was excellent fun.

Best Wishes,
