Zipline … yes, but Extreme Zipline!

Just like a geriatric bunch of lemmings, members  are planning to travel to North Wales and  leap off over a 500ft drop over jagged rock of a disused slate mine for a long hurtle down a long zip line (well, the longest in Europe at over 5,000ft) at pretty high speeds (well, actually the fastest in the WORLD, sometimes exceeding 150ft/second) … and paying for it! There’s even the opportunity for friends or relatives to come and watch or, for those of a nervous disposition, see the other features of the old mines.

Surprisingly the queues are forming for this trip! If you want to join in this enterprise look here for the details.
