Had a great time today in Wales on the zip wire. Highly recommended!

Looks a bit scary for us Northerners.

It looks fun, and is on my "to do" list.

There has been plans for a zip wire attraction at the Honister Slate mine in the Lake District, I'm not sure if its been passed or not

In any event its summat that is too extreme for this old boy

It looks fun and I would love a go.
But one thing is there a weight limit for us larger members 

[shaggs147]

Think its 120kg pross. I have to say that I thought I'd be scared but I wasn't. It was exciting and you get to see some lovely views as you wizz along. You go on a smaller zip wire first and that gives you confidence and a taster for the big one. They have it really well set up. Everyone who rides a bike will be used to the acceleration, it's definitely worth a bash.

120 kg weight limit, that disqualifies 75% of us!
