October
2009 - Jump4Heroes - BASE Jump Record for Royal British
Legion
We came so close to setting a new Guinness World Record
in Malaysia - 24 jumpers each to do 24 jumps in 24
hours. As a group we fell short. The Jump4Heroes team
members stepped up to the task and exceeded their
jump requirements with Cpl Deane ‘Smudge’
Smith beating by one the current record of 26 jumps
with one self-packed rig in the time and Major Alastair
Macartney then surpassing that with an impressive
32 and a new record. |

September
2009 - Jump4heroes - Base Jump from Eiger
We love the idea of jump for heroes, they are a team
of our friends who currently serve in
the MOD and they are doing what they love to do and
raise money for charities at the same time - brilliant.
The team plan to carry out numerous base jumps the
first was complete on 18th Sepember when three of
the Jump4Heroes team BASE jumped from the Eiger in
Switzerland. They leapt thousands of feet from the
famous 'mushroom' plateau, propelling themselves in
to freefall, flying their bodies enabling them to
literally track away from the cliff face.
