Leaving Fox today (07/02/2012) but not before doing a 16,000 feet skydive.It took around 20 minutes to get to 16,000 feet and after reaching 12,000 I had to wear an oxygen mask for the final 4,000 feet.The views from the skydive were amazing from 16,000 feet.Being this high I was above the clouds so could see the top of Mount Cook and the alps range crystal clear above the clouds, then it took about 10 seconds to free fall through the cloud when I could see nothing at all, then the clouds just cleared and I could see all the ground and mountains below.The free fall time was 70 seconds but it went really quick and the guy opened the parachute.He then gave me a go of steering the parachute which was good, the harder you pull either left or right the sharper and quicker you turn, so did a few turns both left and right before he took control back to land us. I have a dvd but recording is too large for blog, will try to add a few pics though soon.
Heading toward Franz Joseph Glacier today then continuing further north but not sure how far.
