Adrenaline Fund Raising Event For The Oxford Childrens Hospital

I spent all day yesterday on the roof of the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. 150 people abseiled down the building to raise money for the Childrens Hospital at the JR.

Fundraising in Luton and Billericay

2 charity fundraising events on today, an abseil in Luton which I covered, and a firewalk in Billericay which Ila covered.

Abseiling in London

I was meant to be at Guys Hospital in London for three days, but Saturdays event was cancelled, so just Sunday and Monday it was. This is a great venue for an abseil, the views from the top are awesome, it's easy to get to and, at 450 feet, it's the highest civilian abseil you can do in the UK. If you are going to do a charity abseil, this is the one to go for.

Abseiling at Symonds Yat

Yesterday was a great day. I was covering an abseil at Symonds Yat near the South Wales/England border. I went on my motorbike and had a great ride there on some fantastic roads. Symonds Yat is a great venue for an event like this, there are stunning views and it really is a beautiful part of the country. I then visited my brother who lives nearby and then had another great ride home.

Today, though, isn't so great as I have thousands of photos from karting in Whilton Mill, mine from Saturday and Ila's from Sunday, to sort out and get on to my website.

Adrenaline Fund Raising Events For The Anthony Nolan Trust

This has a been a busy and tiring weekend. I covered a Zip Slide at Baiting Dam near Halifax yesterday, and an abseil at Pilgrims Hospital in Boston today. The weather was great and, as usual, I forgot to put on any sun cream so I'm feeling very sun burned and wind swept at the moment.

I had a go at the zip slide yesterday which was huge fun and a real adrenaline rush. A big thanks to the guys at Keswick Adventure Centre for that.

Abseiling in Avon Gorge

Avon Gorge in Bristol is one of my favourite places to photograph abseiling. When the sun is out it's a wonderful place to spend the day, sitting on the edge of a cliff with an amazing view, meeting lots of new people and taking photos all day.
This is a two day abseil, talented freelance photographer Misha Ostromecki is covering it for me tomorrow when I cover another abseil in Oxford.
