I don't know bout First, but it isn't the only underground Zipline. For example, try Googling "cwmorthin zipline"...

I suspect Amy meant it was a first for her.

If she meant it was a first and only zip line per se then she's clearly wrong.... ;)

It doesn't really matter in the greater scheme of things!

There are commercial underground ones in NZ, but of course they dont count as they are in the wrong hemisphere  ;)
Certainly the one on the CRTT is really good fun if you have a steel pulley...

I've heard a rumour from a reliable source that the CRTT may be getting de-rigged due to land owner fears of being sued in case of an accident.

I'm taking this quite seriously as some Welsh mines have already been de-rigged for the same reason.

Has anyone else heard anything about this?
BTW the punctured inflatable has now been replaced with a sturdy raft  :)

Wouldn't be surprised given the high profile given to the place combined with real potential of serious injury or worse that may occur one day.

I'm stumped to see why the landowner would be the frame for something resulting from a third party intervention/persons unknown installation. Can any legal bod confirm whether I'm just ignorant and that a landowner is indeed in the firing line if someone installs a rope swing on a tree in their woods, or equivalent.

I don't know but perhaps it has something to do with it being a mine rather than a cave?  :confused:

As far as I know, a landowners responsibility with a mine extends only as far as ensuring nobody enters accidentally.

If the landowner knows about the people going in and about what goes on down there but does nothing about it they could well be in the firing line.
