Aqua Sphereing (Zorbing) for 2

Aqua Sphereing (Zorbing) for 2

Have you ever wondered what it's like in a washing machine? Of course you have...well now you and a mate can try it for yourselves!Starting with a 12 foot inflatable ball, which has an inner chamber - (that's where you go), throw in a few buckets of water and then roll down a hill. With no harnesses, you are completely free to slip and slide unharnessed inside the Zorb, accompanied by thirty litres of water!

Agenda

Once you have arrived at the centre and meeted and greeted the instructors its time for you and a friend to be strapped straight into the Sphere. No messing about here, just prepare for the ride of your life! Your Spheric home for this experience consists of two chambers; The outer chamber is the protective shell and stands 12ft (3.6m) tall. Inside that is the inner chamber which is just 6ft (1.8m) tall, meaning a 3ft (0.9m) cushion of air is provided to take the edge off the bounce. Once you are completely ready one of our instructors will throw in 30L of water and give the ball a nudge, and your rolling descent will begin! You can expect to reach speeds of up to 30mph on this fantastically disorientating experience, and you can definitely expect to be slightly dizzy once you've clambered out and stopped laughing!
