Hi Paulsmith
I see your picture is of the specific place I am hoping to ctb myself. Are you able to say if there are still 'patrols' of the area that try and stop people who are planning to do that?
I think I'll take a trip down to check it out but am anxious having been sectioned before to know how the land lies, so to speak. All the best to you x
I'm not the person who originally replied to you, but I do think I have a couple of tips.
First off, I think scouting out the place is a great idea and you should certainly do it! The more preparation, the more likely you are to succeed.
Second, the most important thing to prepare for is your survival instinct. You have to overcome that as fast as possible, because the longer you wait at the ridge the more likely you'll be 'rescued'.
A good way to overcome that survival instinct is getting comfortable with the area you're going to jump down. Alcohol helps too.
Best of luck
