You can do a tandem sky dive for about £250, my cousin is part of the red devils and and has said I could jump with him for that, but I aint got that much spare cash, have a look on google loads of clubs around the uk

Been to the top already & have the pics somewhere taken off the roof :p
Limp, i have no idea how to use a parachute, this is why i used water to break my fall (an nearly all my ribs lol)

just book a plane that goes from london to scotland, take a parachute with you and pull the emergency door, it will be cheaper than £250!

This has got to be the oddest thread title I have seen in a while!!
Sky diving looks like fun, I always wanted to give it a shot but the only times I ever had the opportunity I was flying a plane at the time, so didn't really wanna make the jump!!
You WILL need to do some formal(ish) training to do a skydive with you in control, its just so that you know when to pull the cord, yes yes I know that its kinda sensible to pull it when the ground gets bigger but its got to be at a certain hight I think.
Google it as already said there are loads of skydiving companies that will relieve your wallet of cash to jump out of a plane & plummet @ 120 odd MPH towards something rather hard.
Also (old Jimmy Carr Joke I know!!) Bungee Jumping is suicide for indecisive people!!

I know, if you spend the extra and do the solo jump, fold in arms and legs then point yourself down, go faster then! lol
This has got to be the oddest thread title I have seen in a while!!
It was the whole gravity thing, object falling from height into water really. Reminded me of something stupid I did when i was a little younger lol an then had a porcelain fuelled brain wave.

cheapest way is do it for charity

if you raise enough money its usually a free jump. however speaking to relevent charity would be wise idea. Do good AND get your thrill!!
I was going to suggest a charity jump too - gets you a cheap/free jump and you'd be raising money for a good cause at the same time.
[edit] make it macmillan and I'll donate a sizeable chunk
What about this Mike, they're only in Whitchurch
