Airkix Indoor Skydiving

You Can Fly! Literally.

I think it was Westlife who dreamed of Flying Without Wings and now the dream is reality at Airkix. The secret? A massive fan which blows up the tower so you "fly". It's hard not to imagine the Superman theme in your head, the only difference being they refused to let me do it in blue tights. You only get about 90 seconds at a time in the tunnel which doesnt sound much but when you do it you realise your body would just die if you stayed in there much longer, the forces involved are immense. The instructors are very helpful and costumes are provided with webbed limbs. Price isnt cheap but as a treat it's hard to beat. Worth checking before hand if you are obese as the hatch is quite small.
