Re: Re: Re: first taste of climbing out doors Think your dad is under the impression i might kill you... "Did you use ropes?" he asked me... "Course I did! Dont worry Mr Kennedy, she's in safe hands" We ll go asap! Maybe the weekend after Scotland, but we re still going surfing!
Re: Re: Re: Re: first taste of climbing out doors did u call him Mr Kennedy, i thought it would've been 'dad'? have sent an e-mail bout booking a surfing lesson tho....so check my hotmail a/c tomorrow... check newton aycliffe for course soon tho dearest! erm....did u sort that link out for me to print 4 ya?
Re: Re: first taste of climbing out doors we went up hexham way....can't remeber the exact location (i was driving!) my feet aren't too bad but the rest of me is in pain!! i'm getting stiffer by the second (i should maybe's try to get fit) so i'm going to get a massage later!
i did it with the army, absailed down a water tower thing, with nothing to put your feet against, so your just freefalling basically but have all control over it, then normal absailing, and absailing down a cliff face forwards which is mad as fuck, you have no control really, you have to trust the intructor at the top who controls how far you drop, i was shitting it, he dropped me about 40 foot and about 20 foot away from the floor i didnt think he was gonna stop me falling and nearly pooed and pissed my pants
sounds a bit hairy for my liking! i'm a big girls blouse at going up let alone comnig down in that sort of fashion...1 day tho i'll b good & confident enough to go n do a big climb where the only way to get down is to abseil!
