The 93 year-old adrenaline junkie who is ABESEILING down the Etihad Stadium

A 93-year-old grandma says she is going to put a big tick on her 'bucket list' as she prepares to abseil down the Etihad Stadium for charity.

Daredevil Margaret Carmichael will be among the dozens scaling Manchester City's home this weekend. Margaret, who was born in Edinburgh but has lived in Knutsford, Cheshire for over 70 years, said she first developed the desire to give abseiling a try around 30 years ago.

"I saw someone abseiling down Chester Cathedral and I thought 'oh, that'd be nice to do'" she told the Manchester Evening News . "Because I used to like gymnastics at school, climbing the ropes and what have you. And I have never forgotten it."
