An 85-year-old resident at a Welsh care home had her wish come true when she zipped across the sky at 160 kilometres per hour.
Sally Webster, a resident from Deewater Grange care home in Chester, took on the 1.5km zipline at Penrhyn Slate Quarry with her daughter, Juliet.
Care UK’s Wishing Tree initiative allows residents to suggest new hobbies or activities they would like to try, and made it possible for Sally, who paraglided over Morzine in the French Alps when she was in her mid-sixties, to soar above the ground once again.
When asked about the experience, Sally said it "took my breath away".
Zip World Velocity 2 near Bethesda in north Wales is the fastest zipline in the world, and the longest in Europe, according to their website.
