How to start BASE jumping in the UK
There is no BASE jump a beginner can book. British Skydiving does not associate fixed object jumping with skydiving.
There is no BASE jump a beginner can book. British Skydiving is the UK governing body for skydiving. Its rules do not cover a jump from a fixed object, and it does not treat that as skydiving.
A first session
There is no first session to book. British Skydiving says there are three ways to make a first jump: the Category System, Accelerated Free Fall, and a tandem. That page describes the climb in the aircraft, then freefall, then the parachute descent. That is a skydive. It is not fixed object jumping.
The sports councils' list of recognised sporting activities names British Skydiving for parachuting. It does not list BASE jumping.
Our club map shows some UK BASE jumping clubs, and it is a starting point rather than a full list.
If you would like help finding a coach, ESP can match you. The fee is £29.99. Nothing is charged when you send the form. The coach's own fees are separate. We refund the fee if we cannot provide a coach, or if your health means you cannot train. If the student is under 18, we need a guardian's consent, we contact that guardian, and the guardian travels with them.
