点评:Taking part in a Free Fall Tandem skydive at Tilstock Skydive was an unforgettable experience from beginning to end. As Mayor of Telford and Wrekin, I took on this challenge to raise awareness and support for two wonderful charities close to my heart—PODS (Parents Opening Doors) and Hillbrae Dog Rescue—alongside my friend Alex from TAARC (Telford African and Afro-Caribbean Centre).
From the moment we arrived, the entire team made us feel welcome, prepared, and completely at ease. The training was clear, engaging, and reassuring, giving us a solid understanding of what to expect and exactly what to do. A special mention must go to my instructor, affectionately known as “Soupey,” who was exceptional—professional, encouraging, and full of confidence that put me instantly at ease.
What surprised me most was how the experience felt: not a moment of fear, only pure excitement. The anticipation built into something truly exhilarating, and I never once doubted that I could do it. That speaks volumes about the professionalism and support of the whole crew.
This was more than just a skydive—it was a powerful, uplifting experience for great causes, shared with fantastic people. I would absolutely do it again in a heartbeat!

从我们抵达的那一刻起,整个团队就让我们感到宾至如归,准备充分,并且完全放松。培训内容清晰易懂、引人入胜且令人安心,让我们对即将发生的事情以及具体操作步骤有了透彻的了解。特别要感谢我的教练,他被亲切地称为“苏佩”,他非常出色——专业、鼓励人心,充满自信,让我瞬间放松下来。
最令我惊喜的是整个体验:没有一丝恐惧,只有纯粹的兴奋。期待感逐渐累积,最终化作一种令人无比兴奋的体验,我从未怀疑过自己能否成功。这充分体现了整个团队的专业精神和给予我的支持。
这不仅仅是一次跳伞——这是一次意义非凡、令人振奋的体验,为了伟大的事业,也为了与一群很棒的人共同分享。我绝对会毫不犹豫地再次体验!
