Abseils and zipslides
Abseils
Abseiling is a great challenge for those who fancy trying something different whilst raising much needed funds for Meningitis UK! It is a controlled descent down a rope, from the top of a structure.
We have abseil locations all over the UK and they include bridges, water towers, office blocks and even castles! Abseiling is fun, exhilarating, and safe. You can see wonderful views of your surroundings from the top and feel a massive sense of achievement as you lower yourself to the ground.
For many years climbers have used abseiling as a method of returning to the ground, and you get the fun of descending without having the hard work of ascending! In fact, the first abseil was in 1876 so it is a well-establised activity!
Booking onto an abseil day can cost as little as £30 and there is no minimum sponsorship goal, we just ask that you raise as much as you can towards our Search 4 a Vaccine.

Zipslides
If you fancy descending at a faster pace, why not raise sponsorship through doing a zipslide? A zipslide couldn't be easier, the instructors strap you in at the top of the wire, and let gravity do the rest! It is an exhilarating ride, often through beautiful scenery, available in various locations over the UK.
You can take part in a sponsored zipslide all over the UK and booking your place on a zipslide can cost as little as £35. There is no minimum sponsorship goal, we just ask that you raise as much as you can towards our Search 4 a Vaccine Campaign.
