'Fraid not FingersCrossed - they would end up a bit pointless anyway, as you end up so wet at the end

I must admit I did nearly chicken out of it while we were waiting for our transport up to the top of the hill, but my brother refused to let me back out at that point, so I had to go through with it to save face in front of him and his mates, but boy am I glad I went through with it (so glad, I did it twice!).

Perhaps "so nuts, I did it twice"! I shall have to give it a go when I'm there in July...how 'bout it WG...two nutty welshgirls go zorbing...probably wouldn't be a pretty picture... (I'm from welsh stock, if you're wondering where the nutty welshgirls bit comes in)

Glad we understand each other...insanity is a great welsh trait... At least I know I'm not alone... My mum was born and raised in Welshpool, but the greater part of my inherited insanity comes from my Dad, who's from the Falkland Islands...another great sheep ...?... culture...

I'm with Dawn et al. about the "urp" factor. Maybe the baby Zorb would be the way I'd start.

Doesn't the soap get in your eyes?

Nah, there's only a few inches of water in the bottom of the ball - you don't need very much water to get you VERY wet when you're rolling down a hill in a ball Maybe they use some sort of low-irritant stuff?...... It certainly didn't sting my eyes at all.

So, no reason not to give it a go selchie
