I Faced My Fears at the UK's Most Underrated Attraction

I wanted to try a UK attraction that was on my list for a long time, and it became a great bonding experience with my dad.

We drove three hours to North Wales to try an underrated attraction, which is in a historic slate quarry with a 1,200-foot drop.

I spent a few hours at Zip World in Wales and made memories with my family that will last forever.

I surprised my dad with a trip to the site with the world's fastest zipline, and we were both feeling nervous.

The staff at ZipWorld were helpful and calm, which made me feel less anxious as the day went on.

The camera footage costs an extra £20.

The zipline can reach speeds of up to 120 miles per hour.

After a briefing, we were weighed and given the right equipment, and then we were taken to get strapped in.

We started with a smaller zipline to practice, but it was still scary for me.

The practice run helped me prepare for the next one, and I was excited to feel the rush again.

The views of the quarry were amazing, with go-karts and bright blue water below.

When we reached the top, we lay face down on mats and were hoisted into the air, which felt uncomfortable but safe.

ZipWorld has other locations in the UK.

As I waited to start, I felt my body weight and then I was pulled into a cloud of fog, screaming 'Oh my god'.

The views were incredible, and I felt like I was flying, but my skin felt like it was burning from the speed.

It was an experience like no other, and I wish I could do it again.

For £20, visitors can have their descent filmed, which is funny but not very flattering.

After the zipline, we walked back, took off our gear, and left, feeling excited and hungry.

We stopped in Colwyn Bay for food and I recommend it as a base for a weekend trip, with its pubs, shops, and seaside feel.
