The recent furore surrounding the England rugby team’s decision to go bungee jumping on their day off only served to remind me how much I’d love to tackle a jump in New Zealand. The players are over there for the World Cup and some commentators suggested it was a less than safe pursuit for professional athletes 48 hours before a big game. Bollocks. Bungee jumping is probably safer than rugby! And if you don’t take the chance to do it while you’re in New Zealand – the unofficial home of bungee – then you’ll probably never forgive yourself. I know I regret not having a go when I was over there a few years ago. Mind you, I was there for a family wedding and it was either bungee jumping or help collect red diesel, so we could actually have enough power for the evening party. I guess my Grandma would never have spoken to me ever again if I’d picked the first option….
