OK, how would you feel about abseiling off a 60-foot building if you were blind AND 92 years old?
Eve Mobbs, a volunteer receptionist for 4SIGHT (the West Sussex Association for the Blind) did just that on 3 May at Worthing High Street’s multi-storey car park, along with about 60 other people. The Worthing Herald sent a video camera along to capture the event:
