Abseiling is great but not very challenging, it's just jumping down a mountain really. It's much better if you climb the mountain first and then abseil back down. I didn't really get a thrill out of it.
I would love to do skydiving and bungee jumping.

Yep. did it loads for my DOE. It's really good fun, you need to be quite strong thoguh to rock climb, unless you are just going to just do it off a cliff edge and not climb up first. Overhangs are the hardest, and make sure you have the best sports bra ever, or you will end up with it (or your boobs) around your neck.
oh, if you are scared of heights or falling don't bother, and when you get 'dropped'(where you can't climb up where you are going, so they let some rope out so you can climb up another route) make sure that the person securing your rope tells you first, or you will swing round and hit the rock face at about three milre per hour. that;s not fast I know, but it doesn't need to be when it's a cliff.

Did it for charity off the Tyne bridge. It was organised by the army and it was spectacular. Real adrenalin surge. If you get the chance go for it. You will get a buzz every time you think back to it.

It's absolutely brilliant. A bit nerve racking at first, but as soon as you go over it's amazing. Done it a few times now.

yes several times, the most fun was off a 150m high brige. It is a little scary but that it was makes it so fun.

good fun but make sure you go through many runs with a professional before you set up for yourself
