160ft Abseil

[keane]

well done, now you've got your "feet wet"

try this

i'd recommend it every day of the week - maybe twice a day.....

how about it - raise £200 and you can jump for FREE. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I've done it too jimbooo, for a charity through Barclays Bank about five years ago. The event was down in Oxford somewhere (Banbury I think!?)

Absolutely superb!! Loved it!

Only problem now is finding something to give a bigger adrenalin rush than that. Guess I will have to go the lessons route so I can qualify and dive by myself

The dive itself was free via the charity money, as yours was, but I also paid £50 to the organisers so my dive was videotaped and loads of photos taken as I was coming down by another qualified diver who jumped with us.

Will get some pics scanned and get them up on here!

awesome isn't it. mine wasn't for charity it was a birthday present from my girlfriend. i too paid £70 for a DVD to be made. i'd love to post it but dont have a clue where to start on the technical front. if anyone knows how to convert a dvd into a useable attachment pleeeeze let me know.

my second jump was just frivilous money spending - i got the bug and am too busy/lazy to do the course. ha ha

i wanna go again but the damn tanks are sucking up all the cash.

So you basically rapelled down the side of this chimney?!?! I LOVE rapelling. I've done it a few times, once down the side of a 20 story building.....illegally.

Boozybears: I never knew you were a rock climber let alone a repellant

Haven't done so in a few years, and I'm not great lol but i've climbed 50 ft rock faces.
Hmm... not so sure i'm liking being called a repellant though

I'd rather walk down the street permanently naked than do anything that involves abseiling, bunji jumping, jumping out of planes etc.
