The Climbing Wall in Skegness Tower Gardens proved to be a fantastic success today as the 2008 season kicked off in the seaside resort.

The highlight of the day surely must have been the daring attempt to climb the wall by none other than the Mayor of Skegness, Coun Ken Milner.

At first, Mr Mayor was somewhat confused by the harness, which seemed to have bits which no body parts fitted into…

… but fortunately, East Lindsey District Council Communications Officer, James Gilbert was at hand to offer some assistance.

James, judging by Mr Mayor’s expression, you’ve adjusted something a little too tightly!

At long last, Mr Mayor eventually began the precarious and dangerous ascent of Mount Everest, sorry, I mean the kids climbing wall. But fortunately, Jolly Fisherman was at hand ready to catch him should he have missed his footing and fallen the whole two feet!

Well done, Mr Mayor, thanks for that professional demonstration!

Check back soon for video!

Don’t forget the Skegness Climbing Wall is in the Tower Gardens until Easter Monday.
