"Not

| Well,
I did it !! I'm about 3 inches longer now and did it with my eyes open which
was a huge mistake (I was too scared to close then when I jumped). The full
report will turn up in the next edition of "Dirigible" but for
those who want to see what happened, please download the edited video clip.

Video
Clip - the actual freefall was for 7 seconds at a speed of 183 mph and
a fall of 535ft. I descended for another 20 seconds on the chord. We have
edited the video as I was under the bridge, until you see my return on the
"rebound". Yes- I was that close to the bridge when I came back
up, the first time. I don't have a clue as to how many times I bounced. |

Note this
is not me at this point ! |
Thank you
to all who kindly sponsored me I will hopefully raise around £ 2,000
when all collected.
For those who did sponsor me, I would like to say that I will be collecting
most of the moneys via Gift Aid and so I will be contacting you directly
as how I would like you to send it to me.
Was it worth it ??- had I known what I was in for I should have done it
for no less than £5,000. It was truly terrifying !!!.
Those members who will be attending the AGM, will have a chance to see the
whole video including sound !. |
