Liverpool Shocks! Abseil
31/10/2009 - 1/11/2009
Venue: Liverpool
Type: Abseiling
Liverpool Shocks

The Cunard Building is one of the most recognised buildings in the world. Situated on the Liverpool waterfront it is one in a collection of three buildings that are known as Liverpool's Three Graces.

Liverpool Shocks! and we want to celebrate this by holding our Liverpool Shocks! Halloween Abseil Weekender.

We have been told that this is the first time that the building is going to be available for abseils so this is an amazing opportunity.

Join us for what is promised to be one of the most exciting abseils to hit Liverpool, after Liverpool Rocks! of course.

As well as the 120ft abseil we promise to entertain your supporters throughout the weekend with music.

Registration for the abseil is just £10 and participants will need to raise a minimum of £85 in sponsorship.

Participants will receive a fundraising pack full of ideas to help them maximise their fundraising efforts.

To register your interest or to request an Entry Pack please contact the Liverpool Shocks! Event Team by:

Call: 01604 687768

We look forward to hearing from you.

I am in so I need all you sponsors PLEASE

are you up to it Robbo

or do you need further practice

This explains all the messing about with ropes...

Can you take PayPal - or will you be at next AutoWirral meet?

To be honest most of his training has been done by himself i just guided him in what to buy as he needed it. I,m sure we will all sponsor him. Maybe he can go up rather than down, that should draw a crowd.

Would love to do thatbut dont think I could get the £85 in time

i know it is a bit a steep £85 in sponsor worth trying tho

I used up my quota of courage last year abseiling down the lighthouse at Leasowe but I have put myself forward for marshalling at this event. Hopefully all contributions are appreciated!

coool i will see you there

keep them coming peeps

I'm on 'marshall' duty on the Sunday but don't know what I'm doing yet. For those that don't feel they can do the jump (and I am proud to be one of them ) this is a great way to contribute. The guys can't do the jump to raise money if they don't have the support team.

Robbo - have you got your day and time yet?

robbo you didn't for me to Singh sponsor form dude.

if you get a chance, can you ask them if they will still be doing it tomorrow if the weather turns as bad as they forecast. I'm guessing the Cunard building is fairly sheltered from the wind but don't really fancy getting up at 6.30 on a Sunday if it's all cancelled!!!
Cheers mate

i will ask for you later, just wear a good coat wooly hat and gloves, ya big softy

I'm not bothered by the wind or rain, I'm bothered about getting out of my pit if I don't need to!!!!!

think of the shivering young ladies needing a warm !!



anyway better go rob is already there...

pacef8 you do know softy is a girl

well done robbo mate! up soon mate!

lol

[quote=pacef8]think of the shivering young ladies needing a warm !!


As rob told me today erh no

no i didnt soft was a lady, but good luck to her and still take your waterproofs the forecast isnt good.

Oh I see. The guys can go over to 'offer to warm up' the young girls but this old bint had got to take over waterproofs and thermals.
Yep - that all sounds familiar

jesus some one pass me a ladder and my climbing gear, this hole i am in is getting deeper. If i bring you a cup of hot chocolate will you accept.

Actually there where all ages doing it today About 10 years old i think was the youngest and the age increments increases as the temperature dropped.



"will southern Soft please come to the blue tent"
there is a hot chocolate here

paging southern softy....

Hot Chocolate eh?

You know the way to my heart.
Squirty cream??????

What time you meant to be off, on, out, down, start

Wheres Wheels and his go pro when you need him lol

I'm not jumping. Did Leasowe last year and nearly sh1t myself!! I'm 'ground' staff' today - I believe I'm giving out certificates! Got to be over there for 8am and stay til the end.

A work mate and myself did the abseil yesterday (Saturday)
WOW! it was great....
We had bit of a hold up at the start but it was well worth it and a great charity to do it for...

Many thanks to the folks who sponsored us and also our companies charitable commitee & of course the Stroke Association for organising it.

The big downer on the day for me was:- on a day of a fundraiser and also a day Liverpool had a troop homecomming parade my partner and her friend spotted in the crowd of supporters a few lads stalking ladys in the crowd, asummed to be bagsnachers, pickpockets whatever..How low can these people be.They cleared off when they realised theyd been spotted..I hope nobody was affected by these lowlifes.

Well today got off to a flying start - Despite the rain they were running early for the first couple of hours.
The 11 oclock group had just gone down when the wind got up and changed direction and that was the end of that.
Such a shame but definitely the right decision to stop. As I came away at 12.30 one of the ropes was wrapped around a lamp post!!!!!
Well done to everyone who manged to jump and good luck to all those who will jump at a re-arranged date.

here is a few more pix from eviljim 1 and 2

and the rest from pace thanks guys

Man it was cold by the time got down, hence the camera shake! I got another half hour out of my camera battery once I was on the toasty train home!!

well done guys ,great too.

Thanks dude

Well Done Robbo mate

Just keeping you updated there will be another liverpool shocks soon

next year will keep you informed

and a big thanks to you all
