If you google longest zip line in Europe it should come up as the place in wales as I probably can't say company name, anyway titan is the name of the one we are doing, looks brilliant!

I`m no good at walking anymore, so definitely couldn``t climb, but I`d love to give zip lining a go.

DS and family got washed off their campsite in Snowdonia at the weekend. I hope it is so much better for you!

It'll be fine, the zip lining was bought by our children for husbands 60th last year and it looks amazing so made sense to do both at same time while in Snowdonia and makes a fun weeks hols together, so I am looking forward to it albeit rather different. I'm fine walking so will walk every day now for an hour or two so we should be at the best we can be so we can enjoy it

Not funny when your husband buys you a mug with it on Greyduster grin

Annie that’s brilliant!?.

Anniebach Mon 27-Aug-18 17:29:14

English men put their wives on a pedestal, Welsh men put their wives on the flag ???????

You haven’t failed. The fact that you are still intending to do it proves you are still the person you promised yourself you would be! As for the zip lining, you are welcome to that - I can only stand back in admiration. My sister in law is determined to do it too - she is eighty this year! Tough cookies these Welsh women grin!

Here you are ? I have been concerned . Poor you, but your still ‘doing’ Snowdon?

Zip lining! You are incredibly brave , i hope everything will be right for your climb, no rain and a clear view at sunrise x

You may remember four months ago I was going to be super fit, two stone lighter and ready for our night walk up Snowdon next month.
The reality is my weight is the same, I damaged my foot so couldn't walk for three weeks, it was too hot for several weeks to do good long walks and now I have done an intercostal rib muscle.
Considering two days after Snowdon we are zip lining so I will strapped into a harness and shoved off the end of a cliff in Wales I'm not the person I promised myself I would be!
Anyone else had great self improvement ideas only to fail?
