Aqua Sphereing (Zorbing) for 1

Aqua Sphereing (Zorbing) for 1

Ever wondered what it's like in a washing machine? Of course you have...well now try it yourself! Take a 12 foot inflatable ball which has an inner chamber (that's where you go), lob in a few buckets of water and then roll down a hill. With no harnesses, you are completely free in the ball, as you slip and slide around inside the ball accompanied by thirty litres of water.

Agenda

On arrival at the site you will make yourself known at the main desk; when your time comes you will get inside the Sphere. The Sphere consists of two chambers. The outer chamber, which is the shell of the Sphere, is 12ft (3.6m) tall, and the inner chamber is 6ft (1.8m) tall, meaning there is a 3ft (0.9m) cushion of air. 30 litres of water are then put into the mix before are rolled down the hill where you will reach speeds of up to 30mph, expect to be dizzy and wet at the bottom!
