Are you paying for the abseiling or will it be coming out of donations?

Thanks so much for your contribution jeff, also to "dogwatch" , you guys are really showing some pistonheads spirit. If you're ever round my neck of the woods and fancy a spin in the cerbera, give me a shout!

in answer to the other question, my personal contribution should cover my costs.

You're an absolute star for contributing Ferg, and have gone above and beyond the necessary. Another fine soul proudly representing for Pistonheads.

I guess I really can't back down now!

abseiling off the top of London's tallest abseilable structure
I beg to differ. This is me abseiling 770ft down Canary Wharf Tower:

I guess if you look at the shapes of 1 canada square, e.g. its pyramid on top and the gherkin with its belly, that rules those two out
the pyramid on top of 1 Canada Sq is actually a suspended pyramid. There is a substantial walkway all the way around it, with the most amazing views.

What did you have to do to get the chance to do that. I work for a company who's head office is in 1 Canada Square, and haven'e even been near the building. frown

ETA - Donation made BTW.
