2 Medical Forms & Weight limits All participants taking part in a tandem skydive will be required to sign the enclosed Tandem Student Parachutist Medical and Information Declaration Form on arrival. Anyone with a listed medical condition should first seek qualified medical advice and certification using a separate form Student Tandem Parachutist Request for Medical Advice. If anyone in your group is under 18 years of age, they must get the above mentioned Tandem Student Parachutist Medical Information and Declaration form witnessed by a parent, in addition to providing parental consent on the enclosed Membership Agreement form, and bring both completed forms with them on the day, otherwise they will be unable to take part. The minimum age for skydiving in the UK is 16. Both the above forms are produced by the British Parachute Association, who is the regulatory body for skydiving in the UK.

However, if they are not enclosed or you require further copies, the forms can be downloaded from our website at The maximum allowable weight is strictly 16 stone (clothed with shoes). However, anyone over 15 stone (clothed with shoes) will need to pay an extra 10 to cover the additional workload on the instructors. Reasonable height to weight ratios and levels of fitness also apply - which please note is a little more stringent for woman weighing over 13 stone. We also reserve the right to weigh and assess all participants on the day and say no if we feel it s unsuitable for them to take part.

Prices are per person, as follows. 85 Video of the free fall element of your jump from exiting the aircraft to parachute deployment. 115 Video of your whole jump from emplaning the aircraft to landing under the parachute. 115 Digital photographs of your whole jump from emplaning to landing. 155 Video and Digital photographs of your whole jump from emplaning to landing.

Payment for video options can be made by cash, most major debit or credit card, but we are unable to accept American Express, or any form of cheque payment. There is no charge however, if you wish to film or take photographs from the spectator s area. Weather Skydiving is a weather dependent activity - as detailed in the Terms and Conditions. We need to be able to see the ground when we exit the aircraft, so either requires a few holes in the clouds over the exact exit point at the time of the jump, a high cloud base, or clear skies. The maximum wind speed / gusts we can jump in can be no more than 23mph (20 knots). As we often jump on marginal weather days, when perhaps the weather forecast suggests otherwise, we never cancel jumps and do expect you to attend unless otherwise advised. If however, the weather does prevent your jump from taking place as planned, the rebooking procedures are again detailed in the Terms and Conditions. Clothing Jeans, trainers, tracksuits etc, are the ideal sort of clothing to wear for skydiving. Everything else such as jumpsuits, helmets, goggles, gloves etc will be provided. Glasses / contact lenses can be worn underneath the goggles we provide. Food and Drink Canteen facilities are available on-site throughout the day. The consumption of alcohol is strictly prohibited whilst parachuting is in progress, and anyone suspected of being under the influence of alcohol will not be allowed to jump. Spectators Are welcome on jumping days, but please tell them to bring their own entertainment (e.g. a good book) and prepare for a long day. Please also leave pets at home where possible. Internet access Computers with internet access are available in the canteen.

Accommodation The Old Farmhouse We have 3 double rooms available in the old farmhouse on the airfield at 35 per room per night excluding breakfast. All bed linen is provided.
