The world's highest sky swing...

Something you may want to see...

Or not. People have already said they screamed slightly when they saw me drop on the vid...

In any case, I thought I'd do a bit of a story on this, though there isn't much to say. You get driven about 45 mins outside of Queenstown, the last 10 minutes of which up a hairy one lane track, cliff on one side and sheer drop on the other. You get your first glimpse of the bungy and Arc platform from there, and you immediately start wishing you'd chosen to do something safer that day, swimming with sharks for instance.

Must say though it's bloody well done. Everything's explained to you, you get strapped in nice and tight, and the guys who work the thing are a laugh. Also if anyone from Dorking knows a girl working at the Nevis Bungy let me know, she has friends in Dubai, but Jenna it's not you. Sorry.

Re the sky arc, as you can see from the video it's all very chilled. At least till they release you. You rush to about 150km on the way down, and it really does look as if you're going to go splat on the opposite canyon wall, but no, the boffs have done their measurements well and you come up short. And then you just swing. Which in all fairness is rather boring. It takes longer for them to bring you up than it does to get down there. Will def have to do it again though...
