Solent Spice Abseils the Spinnaker Tower
Overview
This one is for all you adrenaline junkies, the 100m Abseil Challenge down the Spinnaker Tower. A challenge that will test your nerve to the limits. There is no higher abseil in Portsmouth – and no greater reward, you will be met with an incredible view of Portsmouth Harbour at a breath-taking 100 metres above sea level.
When you arrive you will be taken to the podium level where the expert abseilers will kit you out in your safety gear and harness and give your safety briefing.
You will then be taken in the high speed lift, travelling at 4 metres per second, to the viewing platform. You will be guided to the external hatch door that leads out of the Spinnaker Tower at 100 metres. Your harness will be attached to one of the two safety lines and you will rappel.
Take a moment as you sit back on your harness and give a wave before you make your decent, go against all your natural instincts and trust the rope! Take in the views across Portsmouth, The Solent and Isle of Wight.
You may wish to join us at Carluccio's, Gunwharf Quays at 12.15 pm for lunch after the abseil. Please see separate event to book yourself on.
