The group, who are regulars at the Waterloo Pub, in Blyth, Northumberland, plunged 200 ft from a crane set up in the car park of the hostelry, the Evening Chronicle reports.<\/p>\n
Some £3,000 has been collected thanks to their daredevil stunt, while Help for Heroes has now received over £100 million in donations.<\/p>\n
Ben Simm was one of the jumpers and he noted that although he was nervous beforehand, the whole experience was "brilliant".<\/p>\n
"It was the first time I'd done something like that but Help for Heroes is a really good cause so I though I'd give it a go," he added.<\/p>\n
Those who undertook the feat ranged in ages from 62 to 18 and the landlady of the bar Helen Merilo – who was the brains behind the operation – was delighted with the event's success.<\/p>\n
