If a participant has mobility issues they need to speak to us in advance. Anyone who has had recent surgery, is/may be pregnant, has back pain or other medical/mobility issues or are over 65 must seek their GP’s advice before partaking in this event. Participants need to be made aware of these requirements when signing up for the event.
-
In the 12+ years, we’ve been running this event we’ve only had to postpone it once. Lightning is our biggest problem. Rain and wind is not so much a problem as the abseil is sheltered. We follow on-site procedures to stop and close down the abseil for a short period if lightning is seen/forecast.
-
Yes, the limit is 120kg. Participants need to be made aware of this limit when signing up for the event.
