anyone tried zorbing?
« on: 31 August 2011, 09:33 »
me and my gf went this weekend, thought it would be a laugh
we did 'harness zorbing' where you are strapped to the inside and so roll with the ball instead of falling about inside..... and F*** me it was scary lol :laugh: :laugh:.

im not a wuss with this stuff, im always the first to queue on rollercoasters and cant wait to go sky diving, but this thing was fast as fook and massivley dizzy... the hill was damn steep mind...

lol

I think it cost about £30-£40 a time, which is comparable to an 'experience' in amsterdam, probably over quicker though  :grin:
