As fears go, heights is a fairly rational one and it is something that Paul Anderton has suffered from for as long as he can remember. His fear of heights is acute and he devised a solution to tackle his phobia that may well seem extraordinary to most. He booked his spot on a Skydive. "I was sick of being a slave to my fear of heights and decided to be proactive about solving it. I booked a Skydiving Package with The Activity People and vowed to see it through," says Paul as he recollects his airbourne adventure.
Paul goes on to explain how The Activity People helped him through the process as he was initially, and understandably, extremely reticent to jump from an aeroplane. "When I spoke to The Activity People, I explained the reasons behind wanting to do the jump and they were extremely supportive right from the beginning. They found the perfect venue for me and arranged a tandem Skydive for me which was a big relief because I had fears of just being chucked out of the plane and being left to my own devices! Fortunately, this way, I was attached to an instructor and he did all the leg work," continues Paul showing the DVD of his Skydive proudly on his televison.
Paul explains how The Activity People took complete control of arranging his Skydiving event, which gave him the time to focus on overcoming his fear of heights, "The Activity People were brilliant. All it took was one call and the found the right venue for me in Oxford and once it was all arranged, I couldn't wait to get up there and do it!"
Paul Anderton speaks of his experience in glowing terms and now his fear of heights has disappeared and been replaced with a thrill seeking attitude which will see him donning that parachute again before long, "I saw that The Activity People offered Parachute Jumping packages as well, so I've definitely got one of them in the pipeline...not to mention the load of other activities that they have to offer!"
