This is a great afternoon out – especially as the organisers offer a pick up from your hotel (although the website suggests specific meeting points, in practice they tailor the route to you). Once out of the city, the location is about 70 mins away in the hills – and the temperature is at least 10c cooler.
There are a total of 36 zips, bridges or nets and if you want to zip along the big one – 1,200 m – you have to take the full “extreme” version which is about £55.
I am not sure why there is an upper age limit of 65 – as long as you are reasonably fit, it’s fine. Most of the group were in the 20-35 range.
The zip lines themselves are fun rather than adrenaline inducing, and our group have five instructors which meant it was efficiently run with little wait times.
Its very safe, this is the only zipline I have been on (and I have been on quite a few) which has a second parallel cable of exactly the same strength on which your back up pulley is attached, so should the main cable fail, there is another. That’s pretty safe!
