Tyne Bridge Abseil!!

Tyne Bridge Abseil!!

Hiya peeps!

Some of you may remember a while back I posted a thread about abseiling off the Tyne Bridge, well it was yesterday and I DID IT!!!!!!

I’m soooooooooo proud of myself!

I was absolutely shitting myself when it came to it but it was so much fun, when I got to the bottom I wanted to go up and do it again, I’d definitely recommend it to anybody who has the chance to do it!

A few of us from work did it and managed to raise over £1200, which makes it even better, I’m not sure of the total raised from everybody but last year it was over £14000 so hopefully we will have raised just as much!

congratulations, thats fantastic

I have done that quite a few times during my youth

well done though, seen many people puke and pass out soon as they look down

id be one of them, im shite when it comes to heights

I nearly did, i looked over the edge then bottled it, made him undo me and everything, then the other bloke stopped me and talked me through everything and i managed it after that!

I used to be one of them guys we used to do "Hope on a rope" for various different causes

i done it too...nearyl peed my pants i was that scared...93 ft from top to bottom! :sick:

I was told it was 84metres - i didn't think it looked that high when i got there like!

Maybe they meant to the very top!

i asked the woman as i was about to go up to abseil & she said 93 ft...its probs the same thing 84 metres/93 ft! still canny high

I got jelly legs as i was going over the edge & my big clumsy feet didn't help...

did u's have matching t shirts on? what time did you's abseil?

well done u

i wish i had the guts to do somethin like that but i kow i wud just wimp out. i wanna do somethin daft tho just for a laugh

Well done!

i've not done the tyne bridge, but a cliff - the worst bit was the leaning back - it's sooooo unnatural - once you're over the edge - it's a breeze!!!!

Yep, we all had white T Shirts, there was twelve of us all together, we abseiled at 10am, did you go before us?

I was slipping down the green bit and the bloke was telling me to take little steps, then i was like the SAS when i came down i was that fast, he he!

I'm doing one off the Baltic in October for Charity of course

theres a big difference bewteen abseiling and decending, I would like a shot @ the baltic

oops just woke up

Can't remember which charity were doing it for but anyone can have a go, you need to raise £125 though..

will have a look around see what I can find

theres a poster up were i work im there later, when i get back in i'll Pm you the details if you like

Yeah please. It's been a while since I last shit myself

It's gonna be a lot harder doing the Baltic it's much harder bouncing your way down a wall (technical i know) than it is to just drop, ive done rock faces when i was a lot younger and i can remember it wasn't easy!!

Hence my above post
