Sitting duck and Turkey shoot are just two expressions that immediately spring to mind.

Bunged 30 quid into the 2012 Plippy Crater Experiment. Good luck mate. Remember, its not the falling that hurts...

Normally no, but I think his backside hole might need some pain relief on the way down. :lol:

Mmmm November, take thermals! It's frigging cold up there at the minute, November is less pleasant. I think I wimped out at minus 15 last year, it should be nearing that by then

 

If you have a pair or thin'ish but very warm gloves take those as well (i use neoprene diving gloves, toasty), generally the kit they give to the tandems is pony. Not much fun when you can't feel your hands. Less fun when you have to pull your own chute

Just whatched a programme called Miranda, she was going to do a jump and her friend asked if they made a parachute big enough for her. Instantly thought of this thread.
