Surveyors prepare for Lincoln Castle charity abseil

Two surveyors with a head for heights - Daniel Race and Chris Burford-Bradshaw - from city chartered surveyors, Hodgson
Elkington, are planning to abseil from the West Gate of Lincoln Castle to raise money for a talking book service for the blind
and visually impaired.

The two surveyors have been checking and casting a professional eye over the castle ramparts and tower in preparation for the
charity abseil which will take place on the weekend of May 20-21.

"The last time I did anything like this was when I was at school and abseiled down a rock face in Iceland. I'm very much looking
forward to challenge and playing a part in raising some of the £25,000 targeted for the weekend," said Daniel.

Colleague Chris Burford-Bradshaw is an experienced climber and has conquered major peaks in the UK, the Alps and the 22,494 ft Ama Dablan mountain near Everest in the Himalayas. He's also
abseiled down 200 ft cliffs, so the short distance down Lincoln Castle should be straight forward.

"The Royal National Institute for the Blind helped my own grandmother considerably with her disability and I'm only too pleased to be able to put something back into such a worthy cause," said Chris.

Hodgson Elkington whose partnership are sponsoring Daniel and Chris are also hoping that business clients and associates will
add their support to the money raising event.
