On the 26th March at 12 midday, our volunteer Matty Dredge will be thrown out of an aeroplane at 15000 feet, strapped to a professional skydiver. You can view the video appeal here.

CavefestUK Skydive for Charity appeal

Its a great cause, and as cavers, we appreciate the importance of cave rescue and its valiant volunteers.
Cavers helping avers, so let's return the favour and do them proud.

We have a target of £1000 and we are a quarter of the way there, so please, if you can, dig deep and support a worthy cause.

Thank you.

Its just over 24hrs to go before Matty takes to the skies.
We will be at Honiton airfield at 12 noon to encourage him along the way. I'm pretty sure he's gonna be a little scared.

Unless the weather decides otherwise, and we will know by 4pm today, the 25th March if its postponed, Matty will jump at 15000ft, and we're gonna film every little bit of it.
No pressure then.........

More updates today at 5pm.
