WE DID IT!!!! We finally conquered the descent of the Spinnaker Tower yesterday. The weather behaved for our second trip to Portsmouth. The abseil was great fun combined with stunning views of Portsmouth and beyond. Thank you to you all for your fantastic donations. We are totalling the amount raised from this Just Giving page and from other donations. Bingham Penguins Swimming Club is hugely grateful for this fundraising event. We couldn't have done it without your help.

Today was abseil day. Unfortunately the weather had other ideas! We waited all morning to see if the wind would lighten but instead it got stronger so the event was cancelled.We were all very disappointed that we were so near and yet so far as you can see from the photo below. We have now re-scheduled our abseil for Sunday 13th May so fingers crossed the weather will behave and we can try again. Thanks so much for your kind donations and we will keep you updated on our second attempt.

Hello everyone! Simon Sailsbury, Simon Talbot, Matt Talbot and myself are abseiling down the Spinnaker Tower, Portsmouth this Sunday at 9.30am to raise money for Bingham Penguins disability swimming club. We've checked the weather and it's looking good, cloudy with a light breeze. Thank you very much to everyone who has donated. We have reached 89% of our target and I know how much the swimmers will benefit from your kind donations. If you haven't donated yet and you feel that you can give a little bit we would be very grateful.
