Another activity we did in Cornwall was ziplining!! It was quite nerve-wracking waiting for my turn, but actually lots of fun once I was doing it. The platform the zipline starts from is 120 feet high, although by the end of the line 750 feet later (as in this picture above) you're much less high off the ground.
The zipline was between two cliffs that are on either side of a crescent-shaped beach. You start from one cliff, ride to near the other, then let gravity take you to the middle of the line, over the middle of the beach. Then you abseil (rappel) down to the ground.
None of these photos are actually of me- since the zipline doesn't return you to where you start, you can't leave your camera with someone at the top (because they're waiting for their turn and don't want to carry it when they go) and there's no way to reach the people on the ground who've already finished their turn. One of my friends took some photos (that some of you might have seen on facebook) so I do have some record of it! :)
