These brave volunteers will be take the 150-foot plunge off one of Glasgow’s famous landmarks to raise funds for Epilepsy Scotland’s vital services.
There are still places left for our next abseil on 21 and 22 August 2010. If you fancy a stab at this thrill of a lifetime challenge, please get in touch to reserve your place.
