Skydiving... I want to go in the South East! Suggestions?!

[450Nick]

As the title says really.. I'm just googling it a bit, but myself and my girlfriend want to go and do some tandem skydives. We're based in London so anywhere close to that really. Anyone been, are there any places better than others? Better scenery/height/price etc?

Thanks!

Haven't been for donkeys but I hope that someone can help with the latest info there.

I would say take yourself to either Nottingham or Netheraven, regardless of distance..........

Have fun - if you like it consider a RAPS/AFF course.

Another vote for Netheravon..!

And another - I did a solo from there and my wife did a tandem - brilliant!

I did my tandem at Headcorn yesterday - a lot of waiting around becaue the cloudbase was patchy and low but once we got up there it was superb! Got a DVD and stills too for extra £££s of course.

Would love to do it again but solo.

Most of the staff at headcorn were a bit miserable considering what they are doing for a job, however the guy I was attached to was great - he used to be part of the British sky diving team and had done over 13,000 jumps.

All in all a good experience and I would go back to Headcorn because it is so convenient.
