It's not everyday you see Wonder Woman dangling 85 feet from a Swindon building.

The super heroine, also known as Hayley Edwards, was among 216 volunteers raising money for the blind in a sponsored abseil off the WH Smith warehouse in Greenbridge.

Hayley, 25, from Goldcrest Walk in Covingham, said her first abseil was a brilliant experience, if a little chilly.

"Next time I'm definitely wearing a coat," she said. "My friend said she'd sponsor me extra if I wore the outfit so I thought why not.

"My knees are covered in dirt where my trainers kept slipping off the wall but I really enjoyed it. I feel better now that I'm on the ground."

Hayley managed to raise £105 for the Royal National Institute for the Blind.

Jo Darrall, 35, from Rodbourne, said she was feeling apprehensive before the abseil began on Saturday morning.

Jo, who raised £175, said: "My children think I am mad. I'm a bit nervous but it will be okay. I can't wait to get down."

The area fundraising manager for the RNIB, Caroline Langmaid, said they were hoping to raise up to £25,000 to pay for a disabled children's sports day later this month.
