Over the top Daredevil gran, Barbara Page, threw caution to the wind in August by abseiling 325ft down Blackpool's fastest rollercoaster and raising over £1,000 for the lifeboats in the process.

Barbara, a member of Blackpool ladies lifeboat guild, is chairman of the Fylde and District Federation of Townswomens Guilds and hopes her stunt will also help convince people that the organisation is about more than knitting and jam making - she's certainly convinced us!.
