How to Organise a Charity Abseil Event

How to Organise a Charity Abseil Event How to organise a charity abseil event: If you're interested in running a charity abseil event, then this article will give you the information you need to set one up. A charity abseil event is a great way to raise money for charity. Usually making on average between £4,000 and £40,000 a day depending on the location and the number of participants abseiling. Not only is it a great way to raise money, a charity abseil event is also a fantastic way of marketing your company or charity and getting some media coverage. This is often forgotten about and overlooked but it does add massive value to the event. If you're an individual looking to organise a charity abseil event, then the best place to start is by contacting the charity that you wish to fund raise for and ask them if they want to get involved.

Charity Abseil in Sheffield

Just got back from a fine weekend running a charity abseil in Sheffield with some awesome rock climbing on the Saturday too. We started the journey north on Saturday morning early and got side tracked by the Decathlon store by the motorway in Birmingham. For those new to the outdoor game or like my friend and climbing partner Jonnie who had not been into the wonderful world of Decathlon, it's a bit of a 'kid in a sweet shop' scenario. Lots of great kit at really cheap prices and top quality too - there you go Decathlon, that's my plug for you. So after lightning our wallets we carried on to High Tor a limestone crag in the peaks and one of the best bits of limestone around. I wanted to climbing a few routes and get the arms working again after a little time off but what happened was very different. It was freezing with a strong northerly blowing and after the warm up on "Original Route" HVS 5a, my fingers, toes had nearly fallen off and it turned out that there was some good games of rugby going on that day. So what did we do......yes, we went to the pub and watch the last bit of the Irish game and all of the English game. Some cracking rugby was viewed. The next day we were up at just gone 5 am to get across to Sheffield and over to the Owen building of the Sheffield university to help Challenge Events run a charity abseil fundraising event for a Childrens charity.  The morning was cold and very over cast the rigging for this particular job was quite complex with plenty of kit was needed [...]

Awesome Limestone Cliffs towering just outside the centre of Bristol. The gorge runs south to north through a limestone ridge 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of Bristol city centre, and about 3 miles (5 km) from the mouth of the river at Avonmouth. In the 18th century the gorge was quarried to produce building stone for the city. The steep walls of the gorge support some rare fauna and flora, including species unique to the gorge.
