Zip wire - no hands


The Forest of Dean has two commercial "adventure" climbing sites for children and adults. After having been clipped on to a wire so that falling becomes impossible, people can traverse various kinds of pathways through the tops of coniferous trees. The experience ends with a zip wire ride that takes the participants back to ground level. Some of the most intrepid undertake the ride using no hands. On the day we were there I had my small Sony camera, not the one I'd have chosen for this subject. However, it acquitted itself quite well, helped in no small measure by the complementary colours of the rider and the background of trees.
