There are many outdoor events that have been scheduled to be hosted in London
this season, but none of these outdoors London events can match the extreme
quotient that is being offered by the Abseil Challenge that will be held at the
Guys Hospital Tower. This is one of the few
London sports events
that combine the extreme thrill factor along with the noble cause of raising charity. The Abseil Challenge presents the perfect opportunity for daring participants to test their aptitude for outdoor adventure events and still have the satisfaction of having done something substantial for a cause that is dedicated to bringing a better caring system for those afflicted with the dreaded myasthenia gravis, as the event is being hosted by London’s Myasthenia Gravis Association. However, this event is recommended for those who have had some sort of prior exposure in outdoor sports events that combine muscle coordination and the use of core body strength, although there is ample safe gear and precautions that have been ensured for first-time thrill-seekers too. The event would need participants, safely wired with the latest in extreme sports gear, trying to descend down a building that is about 500 feet high.
Being a highly-rated charity event, you can expect a lot of corporates to be here in attendance and this is sure to propagate this event among the more happening of
London's Social Events
. There is a certain reason why the Myasthenia Gravis Association has chosen abseiling as the event to raise charity. Myasthenia gravis is a condition that basically affects the entire musculature of the body and an individual’s ability to control muscle action is greatly compromised. Whereas, abseiling needs more than the average level of muscle coordination skills, hence the event will help the participants understand the significance of what they have in terms of having physically-capable bodies and the daily problems that are faced by the patients with this auto-immune disorder. The only spoilsport for such outdoor events is the weather and unless the clouds open up, no other external factor can take away the thrill factor that is being offered by the London Abseil Challenge. It is sure to enthral you even if you decide not to actually abseil but just get close and personal with the entire building-descending experience. Being among the most sought-after outdoor London events, the Abseil Challenge will attract a host of experts in outdoor sports and other sports events specialists with whom you can interact and get a first-hand insight into how adventure events are organised and discover that though regarded as an adrenaline-pumping adventure event, abseiling is actually a very precisely-configured sporting event. Those seeking to combine their day’s outing with some pubbing can head to the numerous pubs/bars that are packed-in within 500 meters of the Hospital Tower.
The entry fee has been fixed at £10.00 but those who actually want to participate in abseiling would have to raise nearly £150.00 by seeking sponsorship, i.e. asking corporates and friends to pool-in money to support their participation and this money would then be handed over to the charity that supports the event. The actual abseiling event at the Guys Hospital Tower will be preceded by a short conditioning camp that will be organised for the first-time participants. Those who still cannot approximate the height of the Tower should consider this — it is taller than the London Eye. You need to be of at least 16 years of age to confirm registration and then take part in the conditioning camp to get accustomed with the slightly complex gear that is needed to compete in such outdoor adventure events. No other charity-based London events have been able to raise so much curiosity among the prospective attendees and there is already an increasing rush for confirming participation. Talking about international appeal of such outdoor
London events
, many people may not know that the popular Hollywood ‘X-Men’ star, Hugh Jackman, abseiled a London newspaper building recently to raise money for a charity he endorsed. This should be a good reason for those are not persuaded by the cause of charity or the prospect of indulging in something outrightly adventurous to attend this summer’s London Abseil Challenge.
