Parachute Jump

Rachel, Beth and Den all dressed up an ready to go!


To all who like to follow Dennis' exploits - he, together with Beth Powney and Rachel Aston managed to do their sponsored tandem parachute jump at Old Buckenham airfield near Attleborough last Friday, 31st October. The day couldn't have been better - it was cold, clear blue sky and when leaving the plane at about 1,000 feet the temperature was -14C!

Dan Wicks and myself went along to record the event, Dan filmed it and I took lots of photos - some of which are included here. When the footage has been edited we will be posting it on the Viz-A-Viz website.

and their precious certificates


Den will be updating his blog shortly with his version of the days events!
However it is not too late should you wish to donate to the amount raised from the jump as Dennis hasn't stopped collecting yet and hasn't had his 50th Birthday yet - that is not until mid November.
Please go to http://www.justgiving.com/jumpdenjump to donate. £5,120 has been raised so far!
