Stunning scenery and good weather for the flight (you can see the wire at the top left of the photo)

The practice cable was not that high and we all zoomed along the cable successfully, making sure we could brake so that we could stop along the way. It can take as long as you want to do the forest flying. If you really want to take your time and feel at one with the rainforest then you can inch along the wire and take photographs, (which is actually quite tricky as you have the camera tied to your wrist and one arm clinging to the brake). Alternatively, if you don’t really care about the sights and sounds and are just there for the ride, then it is possible to just let go at the top and hurtle along the course in a few minutes! They do let you do the latter option as an extra second flight if they have the time, unfortunately, due to there being five of us going one by one along the wire, we didn’t get chance to do that.
