Zorbing (also known as Sphering)Zorbing, also known as sphering, is generally done on a hillside and involves between one and three people rolling down a hill inside a huge sphere. It resembles being inside a huge washing machine giving you an experience of a lifetime.
There are three main types of zorbing: Harness Zorbing - The concept is simple, two people wearing full body harnesses are attached inside the Sphere, then rolled down a hill at up to 30mph. Harness Sphereing is not for the faint-hearted and could not be described as a gentle ride! Aqua Zorbing - You, some close friends and 30-50 litres of water - a recipe for extreme entertainment. If you've ever wondered what it might be like inside a washing machine... well you get the idea. Eclipse Zorbing - Like the Harness Sphere, you will be wearing a full harness and will be attached inside the ball but in total darkness! You will career down the hill at speeds of up to 30mph.
