We’re calling all adrenaline junkies to take to the wire on the world’s fastest seated zip line – Fundraising doesn’t come much faster than this!

Test your limits? Do something you’ve always wanted to do? or just have a great day out with family and friends?

Phoenix is located in Zip World Tower at the former Tower Colliery site in Aberdare, South Wales, on the edge of the Brecon Beacons. Containing two incredible zip lines, Phoenix is a record-breaker, being the fastest seated zip line in the world, and Zip World’s steepest. You’ll travel at speeds up to 70 mph and with four lines situated side by side, can race friends and family to be the fastest.

If you choose to embark on this thrill-seeking adventure with us, we ask that you fundraise a minimum sponsorship of £75.00. This will typically pay for 4 complementary therapy treatments for a patient living with a life-limiting illness, helping them to manage their pain and relieve symptoms.

*80% of sponsorship to be received 2 weeks prior to the adventure date.
