Tandem Bungee Jumping
So you’ve always fancied bungee jumping, but you’re both too chicken to do it alone? Or maybe you thought a tandem bungee would be a great idea for a date? Either way, this is an experience guaranteed to bring you closer together. You’ll start off being helped into your bungee harnesses and strapped tightly together face to face (with thorough safety checks), before hopping in the crane lift and going up about 165 feet. Then after a few words of encouragement, and a few very deep breaths, it’s 1… 2… 3… bungee! You’ll plummet towards the ground (try to keep your eyes open!) before the bungee rope reaches its return point and you ping back skywards. After a few more bounces, you’ll be lowered gently back to terra firma. All equipment and club membership are included, and if you want a dvd of yourselves dangling upside down you can buy one for around �15.
