Flying through the air with the aid of a tiny wire at 30mph is not for the faint of heart, but if you love adrenaline thrills, then the new attraction at the Eden Project in Cornwall, SkyWire, will definitely do the business.

Return of the inner-child and the dare devil and ourselves, is needed for people to have a sense of play in there lives.

This is what we need is an adult adventure play ground, so we can rediscover who we are.

"God knows i need adrenaline thrills, i just miss playing in the fields of joy i as used to as a boy, i still feel like a young kid at heart, playing and  and  hurting my knees in order to learn ?! 

Where have those days gone,?, I know i can like most get them back, just so long as i do feel free to just go and play."Adrenaline day"..

The minister of sport should give us this day a our daily bread exercise, so we can feel better as a nation, in are state of play today.

Thank you ... ;)

Is that Abu Hamza pictured on the zip wire amongst all the smoke, has he just done something naughty?

Poor article, the subject is cool and I would love a go! The pictures are great - but nowhere does it tell us how long this wire is, yet inexplicably mentions the lenghth of the one in S. Africa (2km) and the proposed one in Wales (2mi)??  How long is this one?  Off to Google...

It,ll be interesting to see how long it is as there is another one up at Menheniot not far from Liskeard which crosses a quary lake and that one is high as well as long! Would be interesting to see if people know about this one? :)
