This adventure is in the waking world and it happened yesterday. Definitely to be replicated in the phase state!! And, heck, the waking world too!! LOL!

I'd like to say thank you to everyone who sponsored me (including my beautiful wife who cried), and my mum and father-in-law who drove us up there. And also, a very special thanks to Emily who organised the whole thing. This event took my breath away! To be honest, I was initially excited and couldn't wait to jump. My thoughts changed slightly, however, when I was sitting on the edge of the craft - my feet under it - at 13,000 ft. What a view! It was so daunting and I thought, this is it. The instructor asked me if I was ready, and, even though I was scared, I was also excited and didn't hesitate. This was for a special person: Connor Whipp. I jumped. Woahhh! My heart also jumped. I went straight down and couldn't even think as I was free falling. Then, the instructor tapped me twice so I could spread my arms and have the time of my life. I was flying! The wind was awesome and the earth below... fantastic! I could see everything, the horizon curving and adorned by beautiful clouds, and the ones below me gave me a great reference regarding how high I was. The wind raged all around me but the more I fell, the calmer it seemed to get. Then I was yanked upwards. Ow! My balls! The instructor had pulled the ripcord. We floated. We saw a balloon in the distance and commented on it. We were on the same level as that balloon. The instructor gave me the handles to control the parachute and said he was going for a kitkat break! LOL! I could now make out buildings, roads, vehicles - like a tiny legoland, but people were just dots. I also decided to follow a blue parachute lower than us for a while. Then the instructor pointed out where the airfield was. Just when I thought it would be peaceful all the way down, the instructor let out an evil laugh and said: Now we are going to spin!! and he pulled hard on one of the ropes. It was better than any rollercoaster. I was spinning, feeling that G force and I was friggin happy! He reminded me to lift my legs up before we hit the ground so I wouldn't break 'em! It was a happy landing and everyone was cheering! Brilliant. Definitely again! Yep!

By the way, you can still sponsor me and it will all go to Connor automatically!

Wonderful, but I'll stick to the phase.

Skydiving in the phase has to be done. But I reckon I'd want to fly instead of falling.
