Description
For the ultimate aerial thrill, look no further than tandem skydiving. Not for the faint hearted, this experience offers an unrivalled adrenaline rush, coupled with sensational bird's-eye views of the County Durham countryside. Kick off with a full briefing and training session before getting kitted out ready for action. After a few safety checks, get strapped to your qualified skydiving instructor and head to the clouds in an aircraft. Once at 10,000 feet, it's time to jump – sit on the edge of the plane's exit and perform a tandem skydiving jump, enjoying up to 45 seconds of exhilarating freefall. Next, the instructor deploys the parachute and gently guides you both back to ground level – a prime opportunity to take in views.
