Experience Days - 5min Buzz Helicopter Ride



Last summer over on Adrienne's 'The Sunday Girl' blog, I was very lucky to win a giveaway which was a £50 voucher to spend on anything I wanted with 'Experience Days'. For years I always said I wanted to do a Skydive; indoor/outdoor, I wasn't fussed. But the nearest place to me was over an hour away and to be honest, I really couldn't be bothered to travel, so I decided to look at things nearer to home. Considering I live not far from an airfield, I thought there must be something I could do there, and low and behold, I found something - 5min Buzz Helicopter Ride. Going in a helicopter was definitely not what I thought I'd be interested in doing, but I thought it was to the value of what I had to spend and it's only 5mins from my home - result! lol That took me about 4-5months to decide what to do, and then when it came to booking, I had to wait a further 3months due to a waiting list! I was meant to do this experience back in March, but good ol Mr Snow decided to 'pitch' up and as a result it was cancelled. I rescheduled for today and in hindsight I think Mr Snow did me a favour, as today (Sat 20th April) truly is a beautiful day; warm and sunny. I honestly did not think I would be that bothered by it, but it truly is amazing; breathtaking to be honest. I have taken some pictures for you all to see, although I don't have many as I was too busy talking to Mr Pilot and enjoying the experience.

      Not going to lie, I was wetting myself! lol But once it got off the ground, it was really good. The weather today made the experience even more enjoyable :)

      LoL I didn't think I could, but it really wasn't that bad. To be honest, once I got 'up' there and saw the view, the panic and whatnot had completely left me lol :)

      It really was a lovely experience. If you're not too scared of heights/flying, then I definitely recommend this experience :)
