Take a jump for Cedars Amethyst Trust...

Earlier on in the year Chris Emms, brother to Jennifer Emms, Salon Manager,  kindly volunteered to do a Parachute Jump for us to raise money for the Trust.

Chris had to wait all day before he finally jumped at around 5pm, luckily the weather held out and the low cloud didn't become a problem. Chris was accompanied by Debbie Moore and Julie Speed, Directors at Cedars, who had the job of calming Chris' nerves although Debbie commented that Chris was less nervous than they were!  We're thrilled to have raised £341.30 from this event and a big thank you goes out to Chris.

 If this appeals to you, here is some information below that may be of interest to you:

  • Tandem skydiving allows you to experience all the thrill and exhilaration of freefall, while being securely attached to a qualified instructor.
  • Experience terminal velocity by falling through the air at speeds of around 120 mph on your first jump.
  • The training is straight forward and usually takes just 30 minutes.
  • Equipment specifically designed for two people is used, which has dual controls, enabling you to have a go at steering the parachute.
  • The jump is from up to 13,000 ft giving approximately 45 seconds of freefall.
  • Your instructor will open the parachute at 5000 ft giving you a 5 minute canopy ride over the beautiful Wiltshire countryside.
  • You will land in front of the spectator area allowing friends and family a grandstand view.
  • Take away more than memories by opting for a camera person to jump with you and create a fully edited DVD of the entire event.
  • The minimum age for a tandem jump is 16. There is no upper age limit....  

The parachute centre is located between Salisbury and Marlborough just off the A345, approximately 5 miles north of the A303. Airfield Camp Netheravon is sign posted on red military road signs from the village of Netheravon. The Camp is situated on a hill above the village itself.
