Jump For Dad's

Are you interested in the thrill of a lifetime? On the 20th June Orchid at Hinton Airfield in Oxfordshire will be holding its biggest ever group skydive, and we want you to get involved!

What's it like?

Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft flying at 10,000 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, skydiving down through the air as you start freefalling at over 120mph!

Stop imagining and start jumping! All this and more is available on Sunday 20th June in Oxford or one of our 10,000 feet tandem skydives which take place at over 20 airfields across the UK! No experience is required as all training is given.

What do I have to do?

For more information or a registration pack call Anne on 0207 6018486 or email anne.ridge@orchid-cancer.org.uk

Or if you're ready to sign up click here »

Exit the plane at 12 000 feet and freefall for 35-40 seconds!

If you can't make that date don't despair! We have jumps taking part all over the country at any time of the year, get in touch for more details.
