Well I've been registered on here a few days now so feel like I should intro myself.

I live in Lincolnshire and have done since 1994, having originally come from Devon. I left home and Devon when I was just 16 and travelled the world with a well known organisation for 23.5 years. Friends and family are still in Devon so I do visit from time to time.

My sports and hobbies are vast and varied and include photography (of course), Motorsport, Natural history and ariel sports, having completed 2378 parachute jumps. I used to be an adrenaline freak but have had to calm down in my old age due to medical reasons.

I've been into photography for several years and my first serious camera was a Canon A1, I've still got it but its not in working order. I also got a Canon E50 (35mm) which is probably the worst camera I've ever bought. I've now got a digital Kodak Z740 which is a great little camera, although they have improved since I bought it. I've also a Canon 400D with a 28-300 IS USM.

I love taking photo's of almost anything but mainly photo's to do with my sports and hobbies.

What is skydiving like?

Welcome to the forum!

Skydiving is addictive, well it was for me anyway. Got grounded twice and nearly had my licence taken off me for going beyond the limits. Basically the lowest you can go for dumping your canopy is 2200 ft, so if you have a problen with your main, you can cut away and dump the reserve. However, I went down to 1200 one day just for the fun of it. If I'd of had a problem, I wouldn't be writing this. The chief Instructor wasn't impressed. I used to use a Delta wing canopy some times, it had a 50% malfunction rate, what fun it was too.
