Jumping bungee thingy

[kags]

Does anybody know where there is one of these in the North of England, as I have 2 children desperate to have a go! http://tinyurl.com/5trfk

No, though I have a feeling you were watching the same TV programme as me between 9-10pm last night!

How did you guess?? yes, i was , and so there must be one within striking distance of west yorks.

I wopudn't bungee jump if they were handing out hundred dollar bills at the bottom. Although there have been few fatalities recorded, there are some concerns over medical problems associated with this rather silly pastime. The following is a link to just one of many websites devoted to it. This is one of the milder ones. My advice? LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP! http://amos.indiana.edu/library/scripts/bungee.html

thanks Mr Bear - this isn't proper bungee jumping though, you just get attached to 2 elastic ropes around your waist and you bounce up and down on a trampoline. My kids have done it before on holiday and loved it - they have been nagging me to death to go again, and I saw one on TV the other night somewhere near Halifax.

if you really want to make your kids happy (and have a spare 1000 pounds knocking about / down the back of the sofa) you could always hire one www.skyjump.co.uk

They always have one at the Mathew Street Festival, it starts on the Sat 28th August til the Monday, the Monday is the main day. Its a brill weekend, come up and try it!!

Clutching at straws here, but a quick burst on Google brought up the Great Yorkshire Show which took place last month. Not much use for now, but I wonder if that's where they went.

If you're wondering where the Mathew Street festival is, go west on the M62 and fall off the end.

I reckon you're right Lodekka - Great Yorks Show sounds likely. I guess I'll have to brave that place at the end of the M62 (scary)
