    Thank you so much, Chilcs.

    I have a horrible feeling that I've forgotten to thank others too so if I have, please forgive me and thank you so much!!

    I was just going to post the website address to prove it to you :p

    The longest zip line in Europe and the fastest in the world

    The fastest zip line in the world and longest in Europe. Travel through historic Penrhyn Quarry before flying over the stunning quarry lake twice, first on the little zipper then experiencing Velocity on the big zipper, reaching speeds of up to 125mph.

    Mind you, I wish they'd said "travel over" rather than "travel through"...

    You might want to bring a spare set of clothes. I think I’d need a change out after that assuming my heart is still pumping. Can’t decide if that would fun or terrifying or both.

    Don't worry, Helen. They hardly ever break.<devil>

    You'll be fine...it will be over very quickly and you will be as proud as punch. :)

    A part of me is really looking forward to it but a bigger part is saying, "Why the hell did you sign up to this, you idiot!!!" The fact is, I can't back out now whether I want to or not as people have been so generous :emoticon-0109-kiss:

    Well yes, if I hit 125mph it'll be over very, very quickly! :D

    On a serious note, I was shocked to read that there'd been a fatality there a few years ago but not because of a line break but because of a heart-attack. Hopefully, mine's quite strong...

    I've been on a diet, but you have to eat masses of calories at a wedding. It would be rude not to....iced cake, prosecco here I come. Any excuse. :)
