100 mph but NOT in a Westfield


Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative

Recommended Posts

Sat here in North Wales waiting for tomorrow when we go to Zip World Velocity and go at speeds of up to 100mph down a zip wire, head first. I am gutted though because over in Derbyshire this morning I had salty, icy, snowy roads and did not come in my Westfield as planned.

 

Hopefully the Tigers are coming tomorrow, then I really will be gutted that I don't have my car with me.

 

Anyway we found some snow in Snowdownia for you.

There was too much salt on the roads to leave my car all night without a bath but the more local members of the Tiger Owners Club came in their cars.

Here some of us are just before the safety briefing, Bioman far left and me far right.

This is the finish line of the Little Zipper, it's like a trial run before you go and do the Big Zipper

I was one of the first ones on the Big Zipper so I have no footage of it from the top. It was quite cold up there but I had a lot of clothes on, it was a bit like dressing to drive the Westfield. Thanks for all your comments, I hope you have enjoyed this post and it encourages you to have a bit of a go.
