Weekly photo - action

Well I didn't actually manage to take an action photo this week instead I was in the photo.  Yep today I did my abseil, 95ft down the tower of the Falmouth Maritime Museum - now some of you may say that is nothing but considering I have a fear of heights and have never abseiled before I think that is pretty darn good and I am feeling very pleased with myself and my friend Barbara who did it with me and just to prove it - here we are ....

Climbing over the railings and having to sit on the green pad looking down, then you 'hop off' and just go for it!!

Me dangling in mid air - Barbara was gone I was somewhat slower "lol" but she did wait for me so we could pose together :)

It was great but all over way to quick - we would both like to do another one but much higher - 200ft was mentioned!!  Watch this space.

Thanks to everyone who encouraged me, sponsored me (raised £173.50), came to watch me and took photos for me Yvonne, Nick and Matt look forward to seeing them all - it really means a lot to me and is greatly appreciated.

Louise managed some great action shots here
We are doing "reflections" this week some obvious ones ie mirror, shiny surfaces water and some not so obvious likness, looking back, memories.

Here we go.....

This is what I shall be doing next Sunday 29th May at the Maritime Museum in Falmouth - it is only 95ft - so not too bad I guess (gulp!!) 

  

 

Have to be honest and say everytime I think about it I feel physically sick - good start eh?  Still I have been reassured that once I touch ground again I will feel fantastic and I'm sure I will - as to whether I will ever do it again remains to be seen. 

I have been overwhelmed by people's generousity in sponsoring me as well - thank you very much - (they probably don't think I will do it and won't have to pay!! lol)

The above photo is borrowed but hopefully next week I shall be able to post one's of me - surprisingly a lot said they would come to watch - why goodness knows - at the end of the day all they will see is my backside decending to earth at a rate of knots accompanied by a piercing scream - great entertainment for a Sunday afternoon!!  Anyway take off is between 4pm and 4.30pm.
