Have you ever imagined yourself freefalling at speeds of up to 120mph, at 13,000ft on a tandem sky dive? Well now is your chance! Taking place in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside, you will be sure to experience the incredible views on this exhilarating challenge.
The event costs Challengers £225 per skydiving place, so for every skydiver, we are asking you to pay a £50 registration fee and fundraise a minimum of £500 for Challengers. We will support you every step of the way with your fundraising, by sending you tips and providing resources. All your fundraising helps support local disabled young people have an amazing time at Challengers!

Terms and Conditions:
All the below information is taken from the skydiving company’s website.
The minimum age for skydiving is 16 with parental consent. There is no upper age limit for tandem skydivers although everyone will need to read thoroughly the Tandem Certificate of Medical Fitness (you can now self certify if fit and healthy). This can be found and downloaded here. If you sign up, we will ask you to fill this in closer to the day and every participant must fill in this form to jump.
Anyone who is of a reasonable standard of fitness, weighs no more than 16 stone or 102kg and who is at least 16 years old can take part in a tandem skydive. We can also cater for people with a range of disabilities. This is done on a case by case basis after consultation with our Chief Instructor, please do get in touch if this is of interest.
Whilst we make every effort to get you in and out in under 4 hours, many factors affect the speed of our parachute programme. Delays can be caused by the weather – even on a beautiful day, we can have high winds and need to wait for these to drop. Therefore, please reserve the whole day to take part in this event.
Our chief instructor checks the forecast a day in advance of jumping and if the conditions look unsuitable, we will aim to contact you and advise you to change your arrival time or reschedule for another day.
For further information please email fundraising@disability-challengers.org or call 01483 230 060.
