Airkix fun!

In Manchester there is an indoor skydiving centre called Airkix, which uses a big fan to create huge wind speeds that lifts you off your feet simulating a skydive without the hassle or danger. William got scared of the loud sounds from the fan and decided not to have a go last minute (although we saw children as young as 4-5 years old having a go!) so I got the opportunity to have several goes and it was fascinating to learn how to move around and control your position in the air. At the end the instructor took me up to about 10 meters and down again really quickly which added an extra thrill to the session. If you get an opportunity to try this do it, but you have to book well in advance as it is very popular especially at weekends! You'll never forget the feeling of flying! But don't worry I'm not going to take up the sport of parachuting anytime soon!
