Forums Forums Wirral Information What's On Wirral June 22nd: Leasowe Lighthouse Abseil

I agree with Pinzgauer. I too have done plenty of abseiling (when I was young we called it rappelling). You just have to resist the feeling that you want to be nearer the wall; if you lean too far inwards, your feet slip & you bang into the wall. Lean back & enjoy.

Hope no one minds if I bump this back up as it's happening this Sunday. Fingers crossed the weather brightens up a bit. I've managed to raise over £400 so far so I'm well chuffed (as we say down south!).

Well done on raising over £400!

Totally forgot about this, not had the time otherwise I would have done it again.

Good luck

congrats n all

am goin to do this next time well done all

UPDATE
Due to the high winds we were unable to do abseil today. About 16 people did manage to come down before the winds got too strong and it was too dangerous They are going to reschedule for another day!

For those that thought they had missed it, (or were you all talk )it has been rescheduled for Sunday August 10th. It may be worth trying to get in. If anyone wants contact number PM me and I'll let you have it.

Fingers crossed and weather permitting, it should be happening this Sunday at 11.am.
Wish me luck!

Good luck

I did it!!!!!
Nearly bottled it and climbed back in. Gave myself a good talking to. I'd raised £447 - how could I tell all those people that I'd flunked it? Deep breathe and down I went.

omg i didnt know u was a laydee!!!!!!!!!!

WOW well done bet ur SOOO pround!

£447

well done

did you get the right hand side (from the top) and remembered to avoid the window void?

well done

Thanks everyone!
Yes Joe I had the RH side - I don't think I would have coped with the window AND it was more windy on that side.
