Two brothers from Warminster abseiled down a 70 foot medieval castle tower to help raise thousands of pounds for charity.

Robert, 36, and Carl Hourahine, 34, of Beacon View and Norridge View respectively, were among the 120 volunteers who abseiled down Lulworth Castle in Dorset, raising more than £9,000 for the Southern Spinal Injuries Trust (SSIT) on Sunday, April 26.

The pair took on the challenge after they heard about the event from their mum Pam, who is a carer.

SSIT is a regional charity which supports the Duke of Cornwall Spinal Treatment Centre at Salisbury District Hospital and people with spinal cord injuries living in the south and south west of England.
