Up at the O2

On the 16^th of
April, the Fidentia team made their way to the O2 ready to challenge themselves
physically and mentally to climb to the top and see the sights of London from
above. Excitement, nervousness, coupled with a general sense of curiosity, there
we stood at the foot of the arena ready to embrace the challenge ahead. Prior
to the walk, we discovered the dome itself has 12 yellow spikes, one for each
month of the year, is 52 metres tall, one metre for each week of the year and is
365 metres round, one metre for each day of the year. 

Waiting at the starting point was
a daunting an exhilarating experience as a true reflection of the height of the
dome doesn’t become apparent until it’s time to begin the ascent. During the
climb some fears vanished and we were able to enjoy and fully appreciate the
views as we progressed, exercising tremendous teamwork and spirit throughout. On
reaching the summit there was an opportunity to take team pictures and
celebrate our accomplishments; while below we could hear the excited screams of
Shawn Mendes fans awaiting their concert. Having completed the descent to the
North side of the arena we were able to reflect on a most successful and
enjoyable Fidentia Team night out. Here’s to the next one!!!
