Thanks Lizzie!! Unfortunately Charlie escaped from my bag before I left for London, so was probably here partying all weekend.
He should be at the Birmingham one :)

I really enjoyed the abseil, the adrenalin buzz after was great and for a wee while I didn't have RA! Arthur soon let me know he was still there though, but he can sod off Laugh

Forgot to post this one..

This was taken by the professional photographer on the roof, I got a print of it by the time I got to the ground.. As I didn't have access to my scanner in London, I took this pic of the print with my mobile so the quality might not be as good.



There's also a couple of pics of the young lass who was also abseiling for NRAS on the fotoevents page, I can't remember her name, but she did grand!! ThumpUp

Just a quick apdate..

My abseil for Sunday is set for 2pm, I have to be there 45 mins beforehand to sign in etc, so I'm aiming to be there for 1pm.

Once again can I thank you all for your support, you're all wonderful BigGrin

Best wishes

Jo.

It doesn't look high from that last pic. But yes.. not looking down is a good plan.

Charlie should be there this time :)

It went well :)

Got to the bottom in one piece and this one was higher than the last (Kings College was about 4-5 floors this one was at least 8!)

Brilliant buzz from it even now :D

My thanks must go to Helly, Steph and Roz for the support :D

And to Pinnacle Challenge for a wonderfully organised event!

Pics will appear later.

Thank you for all your support BigGrin
