Abseil The Forth Bridge
The Ultimate Abseil
Challenge yourself to a unique and memorable experience while raising funds for Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland.
On 16 June 2024, you'll have the opportunity to climb steps up to the Forth Bridge and then abseil a 165ft drop, landing on a soft sandy beach in the heart of South Queensferry.
So far, this established annual event has raised over £3M for Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland. This fantastic charity works to help people with chest, heart and stroke conditions live life to the full. Their vision is for there to be No Life Half Lived.
To take part, you'll need to raise a minimum of £185 in sponsorship, and you'll need to show proof of this on the day.
Spaces tend to go quickly so don't delay, sign up now for the ultimate abseiling challenge!
