Velocity

The first step of any Zip World adventure; arrive half an hour before your start-time to check-in at reception. If you’ve already signed your waiver, your check-in process will be as fast as the zip line you’re about to do!

Once checked-in, you’ll be called through to the kit-up area with the rest of your group (which will be up to 24 people). Here a few members of our team will kick things off with a safety briefing, followed by kitting you into your harness. Alongside your harness, you’ll also get a helmet and a pair of goggles. This process is entirely instructor-led, and your harness will be double checked.

Once kitted-up, you and your group will take a short walk over to the top of the little zip. This first zip line will allow you to get a feel for the adventure and prepare you for what’s ahead! Again, this is entirely instructor-led, so all you need to do is listen to what they say and follow their lead. This zip line reaches speeds of around 30-40mph, and features 4 parallel lines.

Once you’ve touched-down at the end of the little zip, you’ll all hop inside one of our iconic red ex-army trucks. You'll then go along the 3km mountain track to the very top of the big zip! This ride is bumpy as you’d expect, which just adds to the fun, and is a great little added extra to your experience! This journey will take around 15 minutes.

At the top of the mountain, you’ll get the chance to soak up the out-of-this-world Eryri (Snowdonia) views. Then you'll head into the cosy Skyline building (with a roaring log burner for the colder winter months of course!) There you will have your final safety briefing and to take-on the famous Velocity zip line! Just like every other step of the journey, this is instructor-led, so you don’t need to worry about a thing. You’ll be soaring along the quarry at up to 100mph+ before you know it!

Once you’ve flown a mile at up to 100mph+ roughly 50 seconds later, you’ll have a short walk back to the reception building. There you will follow signs to the de-kit area. Here, a member of our team will take your harness off for you, and you will get the chance to view and purchase your headcam footage. Anyone who has pre-purchased will also receive their footage here.
