WOW!! What a great way to spend a Saturday morning.

Three friends decided to take the plunge and do the Adrenaline Zip Line. We arrived at our appointed time to meet two very professional and excited young guides who instructed us with all the safety procedures and helped us with the gear. There were 6 others in our group; a young couple from Victoria, a couple on their honeymoon from Yellowknife and two ladies from Portland. We headed up the bank to the practice line. You hook on; you step off and fly along until the guide puts the brakes on at the other end. We were all proud of our first run and excited to continue the adventure. We were then escorted into ATV’s that take us up the mountain to the start of the 7 other runs. OMG what fun, we climbed up boardwalks hanging high in the air to platforms attached to huge trees and started the next two hours of laughter and shrieks as we all took turns flying through the air, hanging only from a small thin line. (They don’t ask you your weight but they have a maximum of 270 lbs.). We are high off the ground flying from tree top to tree top. We hang upside down, we swing our legs and arms and we curl up in a ball to go as fast as possible. Before we know it the two hours are up and we’re back on the ground. We thank our guides and head to the 17 mile pub for lunch, where we toast our bravery and review all the great photo’s we took, laughing all over again. What a great day, try it, you won’t be disappointed.
