For some women, age is no bar! In fact, with every passing year, they raise the bar for themselves. Doris Long is one such woman who dared to conquer Britain’s tallest building, which is 560-ft high. The Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth is a popular tourist attraction where Doris descended to break her own world record.
Fondly known as Daring Doris, this 101-year-old has also abseiled alongside Top Gear host Chris Evans to raise money. She has performed 16 abseil challenges raising money for charity. Doris has been honoured with Management by Exception (MBE) for her charity fundraising for a local charity.
With a new established record, Doris is the oldest abseiler, who started abseiling at the age of 85.
This has been the toughest abseiling experience for Doris, as the winds were so strong that they actually made her swing a bit. But that didn’t deter this braveheart! More power to her!
