Soar like a bird with this exhilarating Indoor Skydiving Experience in Basingstoke.

This is a terrific value package aimed at first time flyers. I thought Bank Holiday Monday was a good time to try it out, and I'm hoping to be joined by 5 other brave souls to have a little breathtaking fun! I plan to book for the 6pm slot, and we need to arrive 45 minutes before for the safety brief etc. Afterwards we can pop into the Beefeater on the same site for some refreshments and to pat ourselves on the back! I haven't asked for payment in advance, if I get sufficient people booking, I will then pay the venue and ask you for your payment. Take the plunge this August Bank Holiday!

What is it? It's flying! Imagine a wind tunnel that can be used for testing the aerodynamics of an F1 racing car, turn it upright, step into the airflow and you are skydiving. It's a proven concept operating in several countries to the benefit of the skydiving community and anyone else who wishes to taste the thrill of freefall in a completely safe environment.

To enter the tunnel, stand in the open doorway and lean forward, you will feel your legs lifted from under you as you assume a horizontal flying position.

The instructor will take a loose grip on your flight suit and help you get into a neutral flying position before teaching you the basic moves.

Movements including going up and down, forwards, backwards, sideways and turning are all simple and easy to master and you will soon be learning new tricks!

To leave the tunnel, simply fly to the second doorway, take a grip on the sides and stand up and you are back in the ante chamber.

In goes the next person and you all shuffle up until it’s your turn again.

The flight time starts at 7.30pm but you must arrive at 6.45pm to allow time for briefing and putting on clothing etc.

All flyers are required to complete a Declaration of Risk before they arrive on the day

Please note: All flyers are required to sign a waiver & there is a weight limit of 18 stone.
