Ready to be #spooked!

Previous visitors of our TLC Life page will know that we are very adventurous and like to take part in several team activities throughout the year.
So, we have booked our third team activity for next month.

14th October – is the day when all of us here at TLC are attending Thorpe Park’s Fright Night.

We’ll be discovering a huge amount of fear and terror, whilst walking along the island’s deserted railroad, in the newest scare maze – Platform 15. We will also be trekking along the overgrown railway line, hoping not to lose our tracks and avoiding disturbing the haunted souls that were once aboard.

Not only will we be stumbling through a live action maze but also going on thrilling rides in the dark including The Swarm, the UK’s first winged rollercoaster, Saw – The ride’s 100ft ‘beyond vertical’ drop and Stealth, one of Europe’s fastest and tallest rollercoasters.

Can we outrun what lies at the end of the line?

We’ll be sharing our scares with you very soon…

TLC were #UpAtTheO2

Yesterday, the TLC Business team conquered ‘Up At The O2’, a steep suspended walkway that runs over the top of the dome.

At 52 metres high, this was more than just a spot of sightseeing and actually required a bit of effort to reach the top, which is quite the challenge in 23oc heat!

However, after channelling Reinhold Messner, we all managed to successfully ascend all the way up to the top of the London landmark, and thankfully, no one was hurt!

When we eventually reached the top, we were able to experience the fantastic views of London, including Canary Wharf, the Shard and the River Thames. After spending 20 minutes on the platform before realising that some of us (mainly Sophie) were starting to burn, we had the slightly daunting task of climbing back down (which was the worst part).

Will this be the end to TLC’s crazy, daring activities? Of course not!
