ON Bank Holiday weekend the seven members of Home-Start Herefordshire set of to the dizzy heights of north Wales Blaenau Ffestinog, to fly through the air for charity.

Their aim was to raise £1000 and with the generous help of many they made just over their target with £1018.

The money raised will go towards giving help and support to fragile and vulnerable families in Herefordshire.

One team member said "The experience was wonderful and the weather on our side but for some of the team a lot of encouragement was needed to achieve the feat of zipping the Titan Course of three massive zip wires over the quarries and hills of north Wales - but we did it."
