Well hello everybody,
Hayley here.
Just back this morning from the jump, what a brill day.....
We arrived at lancaster airfeild at 8am yesterday, all ready to do the training and jump, But......
The cloud was that low that nobody jumped till half 6 that evening, yes a some 10 an a half hours after we arrived.
But never the less in true Sulby glen style we had a great time filling in those 10 hours, with Dan's bottom giving us reminders of every meal he had ate in the past 24hours, Rosie, Viv, Olive and myself playing rummy and ludo (which mite i add ended in mother dear well an truly spitting her dummy out an taking all the pieces of the board and packing it away with the game only half way thro), the boys talking general bike chit chat and of cause, all of us wondering if they were goin to get to do the jump.
Then at 6.15pm they called the 1st set of names, Nicola (who was not with the sulby glen jump, it was her 21st birthday) And Brett the 1st of the 4 friends to jump.....
Both came down and loved it, Brett was left with a little stingin reminder of just how tight the harness was (poor Brett).
Then it was Dan, Bobby, and Laura..... Now everybody, Dan is used to going at some silly speeds, but when dan came down he was as white as a ghost lol, but he was the 1st to do some big big spins and had a go of controling it him self, he loved every minute of it and asked straight away when could he do it again, (but that comes of no suprise to us all does it, as we all know Dan has no brains in there).
We were watchin Bobby coming down and we all noticed that he wasn't coming down to where everybody else was landin, (trust bobby) He landed in the next field and had to be picked up in a car, He did say that was a good thing as none of us seen him crying on the way down (he was jokin, he loved it).
Then poor Laura, the girl was very quiet all day in the lead up to this, but she came down laughin an loving every minute of it too.
Then Came Paul, Sadie and Kev's turn....... Well Sadi was raring to go and i am sure we heard her coming down from 13000 ft, she was screaming with laughter all the way, and the same as Dan has asked when she can do it again.
Then there was Paul, Who went a funny shade of green in the plane but once he was out and enjoyin the jump, he loved it too...
Then Kev, well have u all seen the video to that crazy frog song, well Kev looked the double of him (sorry kev) and u could hear Kev scraming YAHHHHOOOOO all the way down, but he landed with bit of a crash landing and hurt his botty lol, but he too loved it.
And at 7.45pm that left a young man called Chris who had came on his own to do the jump and Mum......
Well Chris the poor lad, i am surprised that he had any soles left on his trainers as he had paced up an down for the 11 hours. When he landed he stayed on the ground for a while, and when he got up he was even whiter than Dan....
That left Mum...........
We were all lookin up to see where she was and then we seen her, comin out of the clouds flaoting nicely. When we could just about see her we could see that she was waving to us all on the ground, she looked as if she was just suspending in mid air, not moving, taking everything in.
When she got to the ground in a very elegant manner she stood up and everybody cheered, Rosie had jumped out a plane at 14000ft.
When asked how she felt she replied 'FANTASTIC' and when asked if she would do it again she replied 'O YES'.
So that was everybody from the Sulby Glen Hotel Sky Diving team back on the ground and we all made our way to a pub near buy to celebrate...
All in all it was a Fantastic day that i for one am glad i did not miss, so very proud of them all.
