ACE Forth Rail Bridge Abseil: Venue: Date:
South Queensferry, near Edinburgh Sunday 8th May 2011
This unique challenge is your chance to abseil 165ft SAS style (i.e. free fall) from the Forth Rail Bridge onto the beach below – a real adrenaline rush for the daring and the ultimate challenge for the rest of us! The Forth Rail Bridge is an iconic landmark and we are extremely grateful to Network Rail for allowing us to use the bridge for this fantastic charity event. To take part in this unique challenge, all we ask is that you raise a minimum of £125 in sponsorship - £20 in advance sponsorship (made payable to the charity you are supporting but sent to us with your registration form) and the balance of £105 (and anything over that!) being brought to the event on the day. (This may be in the form of a post-dated cheque, giving you a month to collect in sponsorship pledges.) Because we are concerned for your safety at all times, we employ specialists with many years’ experience to run these abseils for us. We also ensure that suitable first-aid cover is available and that our events are marshalled. We should be grateful if all participants and spectators would heed any requests and/or instructions given by the marshals. The instructors will give you safety training and expert tuition before you abseil, so previous experience is not necessary. You will be provided with helmet, gloves, harnesses and all safety equipment for the abseil, and we suggest you wear comfortable, practical clothing and sturdy footwear. A note of what to wear (and what not to wear) is included in our events information sheet (sent on registration). Entries from disabled participants are welcome. However, to be accommodated accordingly, please inform us of the nature and level of disability. There is no maximum age limit! The minimum age limit is sixteen, and those under eighteen require the consent of their parent or guardian before they may participate. There are no weight restrictions with this challenge. All participants should be in good general health. If in doubt, please consult your doctor. Timings: Once you have registered, your abseil time will be confirmed. However, please note that this is the time at which we will call you forward to start kitting up, etc. It is not the time of your actual abseil, which should take place 20-30 minutes later. For the smooth running of the event, it is very important that you arrive to register no less than half-an-hour before your given time. Cancellation: In the event of high winds, we may have to cancel an abseil, but inclement weather (such as rain) does not usually prevent an abseil from taking place. Should an abseil be cancelled, we will try to offer a different date, so that the abseil can be completed. If you have any other queries, please feel free to contact us on the ACE Hotline:
0845 450 2000 The event organisers carry £10 million public liability insurance. Please note, however, that this is NOT personal accident insurance and you may wish to speak to your insurance agent to take out such cover through your household policy.
