how long is a piece or string (well elastic actually)?




i guess it depends on how heavy you are really, but from the bridge, just long enough when fully stretched for me to dip my hands in the water, before bouncing back up so far i thought i was going to hit the bridge again.

it was the most incredible thing to do, exhilarating beyond belief, so much so that i went and did another one in the afternoon, that was quite a different experience and much more enjoyable, with a harness round my waist rather than my feet, could take a running jump and somersault out of the launch site before plunging towards the trees and rocks below, wow.

there is another much higher option from a cable car down into a ravine with an 8 second freefall that feels rather tempting at this moment in time, will sleep on it and see how i feel in the morning......
