To start of the Teddy Bear abseiling a giant rabbit was lowered from the fire tower - people were then invited to book their teddies in | |

What's this then - the shadows of multiple persons on an abseil, surely this must be against the rules? | |

Chairman)
A very brave teddy all harnessed up and ready to go. |
