Things to do.
My husband and I were bought this as a Christmas present, neither of us wanted to do it!!!
My Sister booked us in and came with us to make sure we didn't jib out!!!
Well it was absolutely brilliant!!! A real adrenalin rush, we both thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
There is a restaurant there too, so we had an excellent lunch afterwards.
The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful, it was a great success!!!
I'd definitely recommend this activity to anyone seeking a thrill!!!!
