Weight limit for this run can be less if physical ability is demonstrated.

start, stop, turn in the harness and stay straight on the zip!
Then it's off to the trees...

and we believe we said it before, but it bears repeating-
ask for package deals!
we're happy to customize...
*We ask all guests who ride the zip lines to sign a release and pass
a very basic ropes course,
or else demonstrate commendable ability to our guides-
once approved, follows a little orientation as shown in stills below, where instructors first show how to get on to, and then back off of the
line when the run is over.
below that is a gallery of stills you might enjoy to get a feel for the place...
and now presenting the approach-
a short distance walk across the meadow uphill to the tree -
then there's the easy bit of tree climb up to the take off point for BIG Zip.....
to get set and take off!
hold on young Phil, it's a screamer alright!!!
Now a little gallery, here's our Tom zippin' along full speed-
but Ian is a cruiser -
you may have your own style -
however you zip, the arc bottoms out right in this section (looks
closer to the ground than it is from this angle)....
and then you go right back up off the ground to the safety stop, in no time!
and a short slide back down to dismount -
Ian feels pretty good about it, was a GREAT ride!.....
Will you try? (video link)
