Zorbing
Well, I've never heard of that!

Although it's not some kind of fantastic outer-space matter transportation system, Zorbing will move you in some pretty amazing ways (according to our Earthly gravitational forces).

A zorb is a big fat PVC ball with a 3.5m diameter whose main purpose in life is to fit you inside securely and roll with you on a downhill slope. Sound crazy? You can be guaranteed it's fun too!

Harness Zorbing is where a rider is secured in complete comfort within the zorb and launched down a purpose-built slalom (downhill) track - the only one in the world.

Hydro Zorbing involves 1-3 brave souls entering the Zorb, with an additional 25 litres of water poured in with you. A single hydro ride allows the Zorbonaut to take the challenge of running from the top to the bottom of the track. If you can remain standing there's a free ride to win! Most Zorbonauts describe Hydro Zorbing as a cross between white water rafting and a water slide.
