Thunderstorms And Cider......

[Peter Parka]

......are a good combination, especially with the patio doors open and Wimbledon on the telly. On a side note, I'm doing an abseil off Romford YMCA in September for the Bobby Moore fund. I'll put up the sponsorship details when the kid who organised it gets the JustGiving page up and running, he's the same kid who made the news for walking from Wembley stadium to Upton Park and raising thousands.

Some of the moron contingent from Tottenham and Millwall, wouldn't put it past them but I'd even have my doubts about them. When Bobby Moore died, it's the only English wide minutes silence I've ever known where there wasn't booing at ANY ground.:thumbup

You are going to repel down that building, is that what you mean by abseiling? :dunno

Sounds like a noble cause, Pete. :thumbup

Dunno what you call it where you live but I mean decending from the top like this. :thumbup

Yep, that's repelling. That looks pretty exciting. I'm not a big fan of heights, but you enjoy.

I'm not a huge fan of heights either and in a way am dreading it but also looking forward to it. I like challenging myself. I've done free climbing before and a bit of abseiling but nothing as big as this!
