Mel has now completed her parachute jump in aid of the Scottish Air Ambulance Service. Here's her report :-
I was 2 weeks short of 2 years trying to get it done with cancellations mainly being due to poor weather. The day itself was Mother's Day with a very
windy start so it was 5pm that I went up in the plane (after being there from 8am). The plane itself had only a seat for the pilot with 2 sets of tandem
jumpers sat on the floor. I was the first set out and the tumble out of the plane and free fall was absolutely amazing. It was almost too much to process
at the time but I loved it but I dont think I’d do it again. The 2 year wait was so stressful! But my face after it says it all about the experience.
For the air ambulance to fly, it costs £3500 each time and they do truly save lives. We all hope we never have to use them but it’s a comfort
to know they are there.
Some of us have already given a donation to Mel, but for those who would like to, here are the details.

Please note the change in programme as this will now be Overseas Adventures - Members' Tales instead of the visit to Balgay
Observatory in Dundee (which will now take place in December).
The members' tales include adventures in the Dolomites, Mount Toubkal, Austria and Madagascar (there might be a wee picture of a lemur or two in that one!).
Details to follow.
