In order to celebrate my 85th year and do something useful, I did a sponsored hang gliding flight to raise money for our church in Tideswell. The 700 year old St John's the Baptist church is known as the "Cathedral of the Peak" and is one of the largest churches in the Peak District. The church electric wiring is dangerous and is in urgent need of replacement, but such a big job will cost over £200,000, hence deciding to do something to help raise funds.Together with instructor Judy Leden MBE (who also lives in Tideswell) I was towed behind a microlight aircraft to over 2000 feet and then we released to glide for 20 minutes. Any sponsorship, even a small amount, will be greatly appreciated.
