Was goin to do it with my son in August but unfortunately he is to young. Children have to be mid teens by law to be allowed use zip lines. It's not just by weight. The video clips of it are well worth viewing.

Thanks Martin great links.... Ive already send some of the video links out to friends. We have planned to do this with CE friends for the past 9 months - but not had the right moment yet.

We need to speak to David Jarmon who owns the zipline company, to have one from the top of Sea and Sand, over the hotel, past the bridge right to Monte Francisco.... where we have a bite to eat! I'm sure Luis will have a special drink ready to cool the palpitations!

Or the Mirador to Castro Marim....

Watched the video, if it was not for the motorway toll costs from the western ALgarve we would certainly be trying it out.

You could take the N124 to Alcoutim, take the ferry across to Sanlucar and Zipline back to your car. Bit of a wiggly road but usually not to much traffic and it's quite scenic for a day out ;)

Thanks for that anything would be better than the 125 via Faro.
