  • Here is a video of a recent trip to Honister slate mine in the Lake District where I set about doing the infinity bridge.
    Great fun. A little disappointed with the promise of a 1,000ft drop below me (instead it’s actually to your right) however for a nice price of £25 it’s a very enjoyable experience. Great, happy and friendly instructor.

Hahahaha not me m8, no I'm happy to keep my feet in the ground although I did do the wire bridge at Glen Nevis. I've been there in the cold and hight of the summer. Crossed in the summer only as worst that can happen is a plop in the river lol

    To be honest I found this a little dull. The 1000ft claim also annoyed me a little too. It's not even in reference to any of the ground below - it's the altitude above sea level which is kind of irrelevant really.
    Much better is their absolutely superb Via Ferrata which only costs 20 quid more.

    • @RamblingWithRitchie
      @RamblingWithRitchie  10 месяцев назад

      Yeah mate ur right. I found it a bit meh compared to the via Ferrata. That was really enjoyable. The 1000ft thing is a load of rubbish.
