SATURDAY 12TH AUGUST - URGENT UPDATE!
It is with great regret that due to Health & Safety circumstances beyond our control, we have been forced to take the difficult decision to cancel this Saturday's abseil at Northampton Lift Tower.
Please be assured that this decision has not been taken lightly. Our responsibility to the safety and wellbeing of all participants has to be our first and foremost priority.
We completely understand that this will be disappointing for you and we would like to reassure you that we will be offering you another date for you to undertake the abseil. If for any reason, you would prefer to have a refund - please let us know by return of email and we will arrange this for you.
Our bookings Manager will contact you individually over the next few days with the options for rebooking.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and disappointment that this cancellation has caused.
