The sun shines down on the athlete as she adopts a crouching pose to lower her centre of gravity and keep her balance half way along the rope

Don't look down! A shot from Miss Dickey's helmet camera shows the view she will have had of the road below, which had no traffic on it at the time of the feat

Tension: The experienced truckers are pictures of concentration as they use their own steady hands and feet to keep their vehicles at a consistent speed

'It felt like an enormous challenge, and it's challenges that get me going.

'Stunts are not for the reckless. Safety always comes first. You have to prepare for the worst possible scenario at all times, and plan for how to deal with it.

'Preparation down to the tiniest detail, meticulous planning - they're absolutely vital.'

The feat was recorded in a dramatic video against the orange hue of the sun.

Miss Dickey is almost across the wire as the wagons approach a tunnel. If she doesn't make it across she will be killed and if the vehicles begin to slow she will lose her balance and fall anyway

With inches to spare Miss Dickey jumps for her life and makes it to the opposite truck just as it enters the tunnel
