Colonge

Colonge was one city which I was lucky enough to visit on the way home from a business trip. The weather was very average, with an overcast forecast for the whole weekend. On the other hand the Cologne Cathedral, also known as the Dom, was a spectacular piece of architecture, that looked fantastic at night lit up against the nights sky.

Derby Cathedral

On October the 5th I will be abseiling down the tower of the Cathedral in Derby city centre. A chance to abseil down the 212 feet tower as well as raise some sponsorship money for the Derby Mountain Rescue team. How could I resist! I always enjoy the veiws gained from the top of tall buildings, especially while traveling in a new city, so I'm really looking forward to the un-obscured veiw across Derbyshire. I've also never abseiled from the top of anything of significance before so it should be quite the experience!

The link to my just giving page is - http://www.justgiving.com/AmyLouiseJohnson - and any sponsorship would be much appreciated.

And of course I took a quick trip to the Cathedral to check how high it was and take some photographs.
