Mrs J.
What are you waiting for!
So I've left leaving my review for a few week to try and really reflect and put into words my skydiving experience with Goskydive at Headcorn! Here goes.... Once my date was booked it was shear excitement and the daily annoying count down was felt by friends and family! My first date unfortunately was cancelled the day prior, due to low cloud and consequently I sulked for a week. However let's face it, you're jumping out of a plane and these guys have your safety in their hands, on top of which this is England, so cut them some slack if they are moving your date!! I was able to book for 6 days later, quickly and easily by choosing my date via the link. So my second date arrives, all looking good the day before (The updates you receive from Goskydive are impeccable) Emails and texts with everything you need to know. The morning is finally here!! Sunday 27th April! I look outside and heavy thick fog is clouding my mood, as well as everything else. Oh great, why does it have to be today 🙄 😒 stupid weather. However no further updates have been issued so now to drive to headcorn with my fingers firmly crossed! I arrived, plenty of parking, signs to follow and checked-in at the office, quick and simple using your code which you receive. Then comes the most informative yet truly entertaining safety briefing I've ever heard. A true comedian but gets the points across! How anyone could leave that feeling scared is beyond me, more relaxed and reassured! So now I start thinking this is really going to happen, I just can't wipe the huge silly grin off my face!! Before I knew it, the sun appeared and started burning the fog away. Wahooo! My name is being called by James (who is amazing, the best ever!) and I'm getting kitted up ready to go, once my instructor was happy and we had gone through the positions spoken about in the briefing i was off for a quick interview chat with Lee for the media. We all head to the plane. The plane journey goes super quickly so make sure you absorb all the amazing views on your climb to altitude. Goggles on!!! When it's your turn you'll be shuffled by your instructor to the exit, before you know it you feel the air resistance against your face, and you feel like you're flying!! Not once did i have a falling feeling, just every magical second of the freefall flying!! I could describe this with a million words but honestly it still wouldn't be enough to describe this amazingly euphoric experience. Time literally stands still! Your instructor pulls the parachute and the world is plunged into silence beneath your feet.. so peaceful and the views, just wow!!! You're floating and breathing in a new appreciation for life! Soaring around taking in the views then stilling again, floating and back to silent, this is unbelievable! If you are lucky like me, the experience gets to switch off your mind from everything in your busy life and it's one of the very few times you're just living for that epic moment! That's special in itself! You feel on top of the world! Time to land came to quickly for me, a gentle slide along the grass and you're safely back on the ground with the biggest feeling of accomplishment and a smile that matches! The people around me that day truly made a dream come true, better than I ever anticipated. James and Lee especially but also everyone at Headcorn and Goskydive you're all exceptional people.. and you don't even know it! If you want to relive your experience, please go for the media package. A memory forever that you're able to share with family and friends. Be patient with the team on getting it back to you, it's sooo worth the wait, but like myself you'll be checking your emails constantly in anticipation. I had an issue with not receiving all of my media at the same time but the customer services team went above and beyond to rectify this, which again shows what a great company they are! 1000% recommend Goskydive and especially everyone at Headcorn and customer services. I don't know how anyone could say otherwise. The best experience ever, and one I will be shouting about for a long time yet! You'll feel informed throughout via emails and messages and super safe, comfortable and relaxed on the day. Go for it!!!
