Drop me a line

I visited my dad over the long weekend, and he organised a spot of abseiling for me. The rope held!

Ric that looks crazy.. i bet it got the heart pumping

[Arith]

Ric! That's crazy! How dare you? What if you had plunged to your demise? Who would have done the upgrade?

Looks fun!

[WhiteGTB]

Damn... that looks like some crazy fun Ric.

It was fun. Once I was satisfied the rope was secure, I didn't have a concern.

Here's a test of attaching an image to a post. It's looking back up the hill as my father had a go. (Lucky I had my phone in my pocket so I could take it.)
(Click on the image to see all of it.)
(It doesn't show in these pics, but in two places you're hanging in air where the cliff curves inwards...)

looks like you had a great day,how far was the drop?

[Ric]

About 35 metres, and the tide was in, so we had to wait for a break in the waves to run around to the next bay to get back up again.

Awesome stuff Ric, reminds me of my old Boy Scout days out in the wilderness.. forgot how fun rock climbing and abseiling can be!

[smythie]

Looks like fun. Always wanted to abseil since watching Police Rescue. Never got around to giving it a crack though

Nice weiner harness

[Spec B Wgn]

[Mano™]

haha ric.. nice work matey!

hopefully the harness didn't hurt you?

[Ric]

The harness was fine, didn't notice it at all.
I went hang gliding once about twenty years ago. A learner hang glider harness looks similar, but that one was excruciating the one time I managed to stay up for more than a glide.

Nice.. now time to jump out of a plane
