Yes. It was a good laugh, apart from the cable bridge. I hated that thing with a passion. Heights, no problem, but swaying......there was lots and lots of swearing.....

It's a giggle. And more exposed than I was expecting. Go do it.

Definitely do it and definitely do the 'extreme' version - it's not actually that extreme, but is miles better than the non-extreme one. Brilliant fun and a morning/afternoon well spent 🙂

Yeah, few years ago. It's a good laugh. I was pretty worried about it, not great with heights/exposure, but it's really great. Did the slide and all that too...

Can you just turn up and do it like the Italian ones, or is it guided / charged for?
