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 and Phyllis Tuckwell asks that participants raise a minimum of £250 in sponsorship money.

To sign up or find out more see the website www.pth.org.uk/abseil-guildford-cathedral, or call Phyllis Tuckwell’s fundraising team on 01252 729446.
