Bernie Hepper is safely back in Acre House after a daring charity  challenge  suspended high over a quarry in Wales.

She took part in the  Velocity Zip Wire over the Penrhyn Quarry in Bethesda North Wales.

Her target funding raising was £125 and with family and friends sponsorship  they smashed it and raised £211.  The hospice provides palliative care for all adult life limiting conditions and needs £7000 a day to stay open.

Bernie said: "Taking part was excitingly scary and exhilarating at the same time.  There were safety double checks all the way, with a practice flight on a smaller zip. The weather cleared when my turn came around and they estimated I was travelling at a 115 miles per hour on the day, which would explain the whistling sound of the airflow rushing over my face and across my ears."
