The Transporter Bridge in Middlesbrough is a local landmark, made famous by Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, The Fast Show and of course, Billy Elliot. It was only a matter of time before the fundraising team at A Way Out decided it would be a good idea to give people the opportunity to dangle below it from a length of elastic tied round their ankles. Who wouldn't be game?
All our planning came together last Sunday afternoon when Sarah Jane, our Community Fundraiser brought together a team of twenty odd mad fundraisers to take the plunge.
Everyone who came jumped or abseiled and by all accounts it was a really fun, adrenalin filled day! Participants also got a free t-shirt and were greeted with hot chocolate as they came back down.
Here are a few of the pics...

If you think this looks like fun then you can sign up now for our next day of bungee jumps and abseils, same time, same place, Sunday 15th July. Full details are now available on our website and you can download booking forms there or telephone 01642 655071 for more information.
We'll see you at the next one!
Love from A Way Out x
