Michelle said: “I am so proud of the team for raising such a fantastic amount of money for such a great charity.

“It was a fabulous day and the rain thankfully held off until after our abseil. Hearing the trains pass above our heads was a bit disconcerting, but once we were abseiling there were big smiles on our faces.

“I was terrified, but Age UK is an amazing charity and we are thrilled to have been able to help this wonderful cause.”
