Brave drinkers lined up to take a leap of faith at a charity pub bungee.
More than 20 people took the plunge at The Greyhound pub in Wigginton raising hundreds of pounds.

Among them on Friday, June 12 was landlord Paul Phillips, 49, and his daughter-in-law Claudia, 24.

But keeping her feet firmly on the ground was Paul's wife Claire. "I think it was a bit nerve racking for them but they thoroughly enjoyed the jump when they did it," she said.

The fundraiser, in aid of the Tring-based Iain Rennie Hospice at Home was combined with a barbecue for punters at the Chesham Road pub.

So far £2,674 has been collected for the good cause but money is still coming in. Mrs Phillips, 48, said: "We were really busy. It was very well supported by everyone."
