My story

Hi dear friends and supporters

We did it! Wild wet weather made for an exciting challenge – Robbie, our ace guide, said it would be too dangerous to try the 120ft of Gordale Scar, so we did 60ft twice each instead, at the edge of Malham Cove. We both thought it was brilliant. Colleen, who went paragliding when she was 15 and enjoyed spine-tingling fairground rides, would have loved it too.

Sal says: ‘The weather didn’t spoil anything – it made it better because you got hot walking all the way up, and then the lovely cold rain and wind on your face cooled you down’.

Maggie says: ‘By the end of the second descent I was In the Zone and really getting the hang of it. You don’t have to put much weight through your feet, just use them for balance.’

A great big thank you from both of us to everybody – to all of you who gave encouragement, support and generous donations; to Robbie who was right when he said it would only take 10 mins for him to get us over the edge; and to our wonderful spectators: Sal's friend Steph who got soaked to the skin, Flora (7) and Bella (5) who climbed all those steps, and Nina and Dave, who between them carried Elijah all the way up and took the photos.

With love
