Bungee Jumping
Click on the pictures
for a larger view.
| On Tuesday 26th September crowds gathered on a dull
and drizzly evening to watch locals residents hurl themselves
of the 200 foot crane, plummet to the ground and rebound back, on
the end of a bungee. The event took place in the grounds of
Jousters Restaurant, St Helen Auckland (Old Drive in Motel near Cash
and Carry). |
 |
| First to Jump was organiser and owner of
Jousters Restaurant, Mark Row, as can be seen on the left, shaken but
not stirred, but relieved it's all over. |

Next to
Jump was Jane Frost from Bishop Auckland, supported by Family,
Jane jumped to raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis. Her mum, Stella
Gethe, was so impressed that she decided to give it ago. One
jump wasn't enough Jane, so she had a second
go.

West Auckland Lass Melody Pinder, as
seen below , Had absolutely no hesitation when confronted
with the fear that runs through your body when you are staring down
at the people below, after her feat she described it as absolutely
brilliant. |

Tracy Turvey, (left),
also of West Auckland had the crowd gripped with anticipation as she
held on and held on and held on until she finally persuaded herself
to let go and freefall. Tracy who was raising money for the charity,
Active Aid, said "it was fantastic," and signed up, to do
it again and this time without the hesitation.
Finally, Darren Tray, of Bainbridge Court, St Helen Auckland,
accompanied in the cage by his girlfriend, Nicola Lazenby, (in case
he needed a push) took the leap of faith without fuss of hesitation,

| Congratulations to all those that jumped
it takes a lot of determination to hurl yourself off the cage and
into the air, like as I said at the time "I've been
there" see photos below taken 10 years ago, in Blackets public
house car park, Darlington.
