Ripon Cathedral Abseil - Alanah Honey

Event date: 18th May 2019

Alanah Honey is raising money for Ripon Cathedral Development Trust

My story

It is a daring 115 feet (35 metres) from the top of the South West Tower of Ripon Cathedral, and in the aid of charity - I am going to abseil from it!

Ripon Cathedral has an exciting vision and bold plan for serving the people of Yorkshire and beyond. The plans aim to increase provisions for the local and regional community, as well as visitors to Ripon. In particular, making the most of the Cathedral's outstanding heritage, stories and collections - no mean feat given that the Cathedral crypt dates back to 672 AD making it one of the oldest Cathedrals in Europe.

On a personal note, I am lucky enough to be involved with this project in a professional capacity, working with the Team at Ripon and the Cathedral Architect in my role at Caroe Architecture. It is such a worthwhile project and any support will make a difference to work the Cathedral can carry out - not just an excuse to take in the view! (Though, I may take the opportunity to carry out a quick condition survey of the South West Tower on my way down!)

Friends and family can come along to the spectators' area outside the cathedral during the day on Saturday 18 May, and watch the abseilers descend. Hot drinks, refreshments and children's activities running throughout the day, there is something for all ages!
