The Forth Rail Bridge from S. Queensferry - 5th October 2008
HelenM posing before the Abseil
The challenge ahead - Abseiling 165ft from Approach Viaduct onto shore at S.Queensferry
HelenM going to get kitted-up
Getting that harness on . . .
Final checking - important the harness is fitted properly
Yes, up on the walkway at last! Roped up - HelenM (head hidden behind stanchion) thinking about climbing over rail
Outside the walkway
Preparing to ease off that stanchion
Easy does it
Almost away
and finally hanging with full weight on the Abseil rope
Easing down
Holding tight
Easing down further - a grimaced smile
Almost down now - that smile gets broader
On terra firma again - unhitching
I've done that!
HelenM's children in background - cameras at the ready
HelenM's never short of something to say . . .
HelenM and friend Jenny - posing for photos by their kids
