It was a while since my first abseil at the Kielder adventure centre, aged 8ish (as per pic) but now as a way of spicing up the May bank holiday and my Ma's birthday, my dad and I are going to leap off the top of Guy's Tower (a meagre 450ft!!).

Heights aren't my favourite so I reckon I'll be bricking it before I descend. All worth it though as Jennifer Trust is a great cause offering support for individuals and families with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. I hope you can donate a few quid for the cause.

Much appreciated and thanks.

And note to self: don't get too drunk the night before...
