Sir, - North Lanarkshire residents are being challenged to glide 1,000 feet across the River Clyde to raise funds for Action for Children Scotland.

A few places still remain on the leading charity’s Zipslide across the Clyde challenge on Saturday, October 12 – and we hope that thrill seekers from North Lanarkshire will show their support for the country’s most vulnerable children, young people and families by taking part.

Our Zipslide across the Clyde challenge is back for its sixth year and a few places remain for the popular event.

If you think you’re brave enough to glide over the glide on the 130 feet zipslide, which can reach speeds of up to 35 mph, please do get in touch to reserve your place – before it’s too late.
