Charity Abseil - Sept 7th

[Simply Paul]

Having failed to get a world record by running up a tall tower many times in succession twice now (2012 & 2013) I decided I needed a radical change of direction. Literally.

However, I've just discovered I'm expected to have raised my £150 target IN TOTAL, BEFORE the Big Abseil I'm doing on Saturday, which has come as a bit of a shock. Raising money for local charity 'Youth Bank', which funds Buckinghamshire projects for younglings, I'll be facing my fear - not of heights. I'm fine with those. I've a phobia of rope though. Also, falling, sudden stops and death, etc - by walking down the 200ft wall of Aylesbury's County Council office building (you'll remember it if you've seen it!) on the end of a thin piece of over-grown fishing line.

I'll do this while dressed as King Kong (naturally) and really need some extra fund-raising support! I'm in the local paper this week, etc etc but if any GAGB forum users can be persuaded to help a youth charity by visiting http://www.localgiving.com/whatgoesup that would be super-kind and double-amazing of you. Thank you in advance!

Well, I survived, and got a charity collection extension til the end of the month, so the real begging begins now!
For a small donation at http://www.localgiving.com/whatgoesup I promise to shut up about the sensation
of swinging myself out over a 200ft drop, trusting my life to a thin piece of rope...
