Tyne Bridge Abseil - 22nd May Hello peeps, I'm doing a charity abseil on 22nd May for Disability North. I'm doing this through work, but anyone can do it so i thought i'd give it a mention. It takes place at 9am Sun 22nd May, anyone over the age of 16 can do it, all they ask is that you raise a minimum of £50 (which isn't a lot really) full training is given! 130 people abseiled last year and they raised £14,000 for Disability North with all funds being put back into the charity! If anyone is interested they need to contact Ruth Woodfine at Disability North for an application form on 0191 284 0480 or e-mail her ruth.woodfine@disabilitynorth.org.uk Thanks!
I did one off the Sunderland years ago. It was for Guide Dogs for the Blind (my aunty is partially blind). I was cool as fcuk until the guy told me to climb over the edge and lean back! Was mint going down tho I would suggest it to anybody to have a go I'm a big tart and I did it so anyone can!
Ive abseiled forwards down a cliff face before, they just told me to let go and they controlled it, was like something out of Mission Impossible. Ive done it normally and where theres no wall or anything and you just freefall down your cord Not for charity mind...just for crack
I would love to do a skydive too! I'd probably shat my pants but it'd be mint to be able to say you've done it!
Pleased to hear it, it's for a good cause, and if you were gonna pay to do it, it would cost a hell of a lot more than £50!
i did something similar in South Africa called a rapp jump, you jumped forwards down a skyscraper on top of a shopping mall
they must b busy cos noone got back to me on email so i gave them a ring and am getting an application pack sent out in the post!
