21 Daredevils brave the heights of Ilkley cow and Calf Rocks v
21 daredevils braved the heights of the Ilkley Cow Calf rocks in aid of our Hospice.

High on Ilkley Moor, the iconic Yorkshire Cow and Calf Rocks are a large rock formation consisting of an outcrop and boulder, also known as Hangingstone Rocks.

The challenge included a 45 feet Tyrolean traverse which had participants dangling from a harness on a rope to get across two rocks, they had to pull themselves across with the help of the other participants and instructors on the other side. And a 70 feet abseil which saw them take on a controlled slide down a rope to descend the rock face.

Challengers could do one or both of the activities and our 21 daredevils showed no fear! We had a great mix of people taking on the challenge with ages ranging from 13 to 84.

Thank you so much to everyone who took part in this adrenaline fuelled activity and to everyone who sponsored our challengers. They money raised will go towards making sure we continue to be there for local people with life limiting illnesses and their families.
