How to abseil"It was scary! but once you're over the edge its pretty cool! :)"
How I did it: I did a charity abseil down a 100ft building for a charity called Fat Fluffs which is a charity for unwanted, unloved or abused rabbits :( I first got involved in the charity when my dad and stepmom got a rabbit from there :D Lessons & tips: You just need to trust the people who are helping you do it and also trust yourself to keep control. Go at your own pace and don't panic like I did! Resources: http://www.fatfluffs.com/ |

hippie1427 Is going to be uber productive this year
How I did it: We went to waitomo caves and abseiled 100m (330 ft) strait down with nothing within reach but our ropes, into a place called the lost world. We clipped onto a rope, went out on the platform, sat back on a bar suspended over nothing, clipped onto our rappeling gear, then just sat down off the bar into our harness. after that it is just pulling up on your rope to descend. Read how I did it…

Originally I planned to simply participate when a local charity held one of these. I am aware that Rowcroft do this regularly, but I have a new idea.
Although I think I will still participate in the abseil for Rowcroft (whenever this is) ... I am also going to set up my own.
I am a member of Children’s Hospice South West charity, and could possibly organise a small charitable event for them, or alternatively, I could arrange one for Abaana – a charity for the children of Africa.
I found this site:
www.charityabseils.co.uk which may be a great help for this sort of event.
I look forward to properly planning it after my exams! :)

Whether it is off a building or a cliff face . . . try both! Why not!? What a buzz! : )

Excellent fun

Yes, I did it!! It was brilliant and I would do it again no bother. The worst part was actually letting go of a railing at the top and trusting you weren’t going to fall backwards off the building but of course we were safely harnessed on and once you got going down the rope it felt really good. I want to do it again!
Really good fun! I’ve been a few times and would go again if not for a disability (don’t worry, it was not caused by the abseiling ;-))

I have never abseiled before and thing it would be awesome – and scary! I would love to do it off a really high bridge.
SO much fun!! And I’m a bit nervous of heights but I faced my fear, did it and had loads of fun!

Go to the top of Table Mountain and Abseil down with the Abseil Africa people. Even if you’ve never done anything like it before you can do this. The guys were pretty hot as well.
