A charity abseil has been arranged for September 15 and is aiming to raise funds for new equipment for Haylings play parks including zip wires.

Due to be held at Ward Court Hayling Island the adrenaline fueled day is appealing to brave souls who are happy to step of the precipice and drop the 50ft height back down to terra firma.

Participants are being encouraged to sign up early as bookings are expected to come thick and fast and with such a short window between now and the event date the organisers are keen for anyone interested in taking part to get involved as early as possible.

To book your place you need to have raised a minimum of 10. Email debra.surridge@hampshire.pnn.police.uk for further information.
