Family Tree Climbing

[softbankhawks]

Last Saturday I ran a recreational climbing event for a local charity with the help of Marc, Phillip, Jason and Guns. This is a little shout out for those guys as they gave incredible support, hard work and good vibes. Thank you.

 

We run systems for all ages and abilities, even the disabled. Tom, Lee and Ben braved it into the big oak canopy and all remerked at how the normal leaden feeling in their legs disappered as they were hoisted up.

 

Thanks everyone, it was a day to remember!!

That is a very cool thing to do.

well done mate and all the guys for helping out, i take for granted tha fact that i can go and play with my boy up the woods and let him climb about. you should be VERY proud of yourself:thumbup1:

[Steve Bullman]

good for you mate. can i be cheeky and ask what it involved setting up that event....ie insurance costs?

[softbankhawks]

This is Marc rigging Lee. We had to make sure that Lee's body did not 'fall away' as he came out of his chair as his muscles were fully accustomed.

The chap in the blue shirt is Simon and we learnt that autistic people like to be high up. There was no communication but his ma sensitively guided us through the hoist.
