How high would you go ?

[Sixpence]

Excuse the double entry , but it was suggested I post here too

Well personally speaking I get vertigo so I prefer to keep my feet firmly on the ground , but if enough people are willing to put thier hands in pockets to raise the minimum sponsorship fee , I'll be going up the mast to sixty feet and if I get more than the minimum , I'll go one foot per squid raised over the basic , till I reach the top . So go on , dig deep and you never know , the shock of climbing to the top might stop me posting for a day or two . Any takers ?

I've asked the Redoubtable Tina for an application pack, so perhaps we'll both be there. We can chivvy each other onwards and upwards. So you can maybe buy me that beer afterwards....!

Anyone else?

I get angina of the wallet just looking at events like that - e.g. abseils down local college walls - and I'll need to ask if we're required to wear fancy dress ( Chicken suits, divers' helmets, ostrich costumes... )

I'm thinking about giving it a go but not sure if i can make the dates, I'll speak to Al and Tina and see what the latest entry date is /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Well done Bill and Chris , though it could make raising the sponsorship money a bit harder /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

If someone would tell me when and where, I'll do the one legged bit on top, even though heights scare the crap out of me

I'd rather do that than someone scam money by feet up a mast. Which many have done, even at sea,

 

[Sixpence]

Scam ??? Brendan , what on earth is the matter with you ? , this is the same as a kid doing a sponsored walk in aid of charity ,, where does the scam come into it ?

 

[Slow_boat]

10 feet, no more. Can't stand heights, even though I used to teach rope decents from helicoptors.

Fifty quid says you dont get to the top! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

So is proof going to be a photo of you at the top, fending off seagulls!?

 

[Sixpence]

I'm hoping that one of our photographer forumites may volunteer to take just such a pic

For information to those that don't visit mobo pages , this is now a joint venture with Brendan and myself aiming for the top , together . This could be worthy of a mention in certain magazines

Thank you very very much for your support Dave, Brendan, and Bill.

I'm touched.

Al.

You really have my heartfelt thanks to all you kind members that are helping Dave and BrendanS!

Big kisses to you all,

Tina.

Just seen that I did this under Al's log in! Oops!

No kisses from him!

It is me Tina, aka Kindred_Spirit.

"What? All the way up there?"

all of a sudden my legs have gone wobbly /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I thought that you weren't supposed to look down - so a girl in a bikini lies on the deck at the foot of the mast. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[Sixpence]

It would take more than a bikini clad buxom wench to get me looking down , I go dizzy when I look down a flight of steps /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
