Bethesda granddad first to go on longest zip wire in the northern hemisphere
A grandfather of six became the first to experience the longest zip wire in the northern hemisphere today.
Robert Davies, 72, who lives near the new attraction in Penryhn Quarry, Bethesda, North Wales, described whizzing down the mile-long zip wire suspended 700ft in the air as “one of the most amazing things I’ve ever done”.

I've been offered a free go on it - one of my customers provided a lot of the kit and they said I could go on their staff day there 😮 😮

my orders are to sit here and watch the world go by
