A 23-year-old charity worker from Nelson, has scaled the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia to raise funds for Diabetes UK Cymru.

Danielle Angell, who works for the charity as a volunteering development support officer in Cardiff, hit the heights on January 2 after a three-and-a-half hour climb that took her along the outer arch of the Bridge on catwalks and ladders all the way to the summit, 134 metres above Sydney Harbour.

Danielle said: “It was scary, but worth it – the views were out of this world.”

The trip was a lifelong ambition and also made up for the disappointment of being unable to run the Cardiff Half Marathon last year due to a knee injury.

Not content with just one daredevil challenge, Danielle has another on the way and is due to skydive from 14000 ft on her birthday on January 8.

She added: “This is something I’ve never done before, .but hopefully an experience that I will never want to forget. You .can’t get much better than a sky dive on your birthday, landing on the beach in Brisbane.

“I have decided to complete these challenge to raise money for Diabetes UK, a charity very close to my heart.”
