If launching yourself off a cliff and whizzing past the scenery on a steel wire sounds like your sort of fun then a zip wire is a must.

Kitted up with a helmet and harness you are attached on to the wire and given the all clear to launch.

Then its a case of taking the plunge over the edge and whizzing down the wire to a safe landing.

To find out where you can have a go on a zipwire check out the listed centres below and to see how we got at Castle Quarry click on the link below or on one of the pictures.
