Marking Time

By Libra

Climb every mountain...

Watching   this guy abseiling down the climbing wall in our local Sports centre lunch time  today   reminded me of the occasion years ago when I was sent out by a local newspaper in the Lake District to go and try my hand at rock climbing and write about it.
 
 I was about to leave the office with a photographer when the Features Editor, whose idea it was, suddenly had a thought. What if I fell and killed myself? Would the paper be held responsible? Were they insured? 

“Too late, we’re off”, said the photographer.
I never did discover how much they insured me for. 
If anything...

PS The original photo, the one used in the newspaper,  abseiling down the rock face is lost, somewhere in the house.
