Skydive
2026-01-01 - 2026-12-31 | Netheravon, Airfield Camp Netheravon, Netheravon, SP4 9RY
60 seconds. 13,000ft. 125mph. Will you take the leap?
Book your boarding pass for a once in a lifetime experience. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie, conquering a fear, or celebrating a milestone, get ready for the thrill of completing a charity tandem skydive for RUHX. Tick off the ultimate bucket list item with #TeamRUHX in support of health, happiness and wellbeing for everyone in Bath and beyond.
We’ve partnered with the friendly team at Netheravon Airfield, the home of the Army Parachute Association. You’ll be jumping over the beautiful Wiltshire countryside, where, if you’re lucky, you’ll catch a glimpse of the White Horses on the way down.

On the day, you’ll receive thorough ground-training from a tandem master to prepare you for your fall to earth. Board your plane and when it’s time to jump, you’ll be strapped securely to your tandem instructor before you exit the aircraft at 13,000ft. Experience an exhilarating freefall of over 40 seconds before your instructor deploys the main parachute and together you steer your way back to the drop zone for a gentle, controlled landing.

This is a walk for everyone

ExpandHide

The Walk of Life was started by Vanessa Kyte (Ness) who died on 15th November 2007, seven years after first being diagnosed with breast cancer which developed into secondary lung cancer and brain tumours. Her passion for fundraising sparked her and her sister Nicola to begin the Walk of Life in 2006, and it has developed and grown ever since into the beautiful celebration that it is today with thousands of walkers stepping out for an incredible cause. The Walk of Life remembers Ness with our volunteer run ‘GoodNess’ stops along the way.
Whether you’re walking in memory of a friend or family member, to celebrate yours or your loved one’s recovery at the RUH, or to say thank you to the incredible RUH staff, this is a walk for all lives.

Where does my fundraising go?

Funds raised from the trek help us go further to give every patient in the RUH community the extra extraordinary care they deserve, while supporting our staff to do what they do best and furthering innovation within our hospitals.

£5,000 could fund a sleeper chair for family members to stay overnight with their loved ones
£6,500 could fund a system for dementia patients that offers music and activities to ease distress
You will be fully supported with your fundraising along the way by our Events & Community team. Please get in touch at fundraising@ruhx.org.uk if you have any questions about sponsorship.

What support is there on the trek?

ExpandHide

You will be accompanied by an English speaking guide as well as an experienced Trek support team, including a cook, a UK doctor, porters to carry baggage, and a leader from Global Adventure Challenges, all on hand to make sure you have the adventure of a lifetime.

How fit do I have to be?

ExpandHide

You need to have a reasonable level of fitness in order to take part, but you do not need to be ‘super fit’ or a professional athlete. As long as you train beforehand, the trek is designed to be challenging but achievable!
You should slowly build up your fitness levels on the lead up to your challenge by walking for good lengths of time, including hills, and walking two days in a row.
Ultimately, the fitter you are, the more you will enjoy taking part in the challenge.
