Fire Escape

East Grinstead Explorers from Griffyn fancied a bit of abseiling this week, but instead of using a normal abseiling tower, they fancied jumping off the tower at the East Grinstead Fire Station.

Whilst abseiling the tower, why not invest someone too? Reviving an old tradition for investing people in strange places, halfway up the tower, precariously balanced the unit flag was held, promises said, and scarfs and badges presented.

After the formalities were out of the way, the explorers got down to some good ole’ wall running.
