PHYLLIS Tuckwell Hospice is looking for plucky fundraisers to abseil down Guildford Cathedral, to raise money for the work it does caring for those facing a serious progressive illness, such as cancer.

Harness up and climb the 249 steps of the cathedral’s spiral staircase, to the very top of the 160ft bell tower. Pause to enjoy the panoramic views of Guildford, before climbing over the top and abseiling down.

The abseil will take place on Saturday, May 21. There is a £30 registration fee to take part in the abseil, and Phyllis Tuckwell asks that participates raise a minimum of £250 in sponsorship money.

For more information or sign up call Phyllis Tuckwell’s fundraising team on 01252 729446, or visit them online at www.pth.org.uk/abseil-guildford-cathedral/.
