The Zip Wire Challenge at Blair Castle

For those who are planning to come to Blair Castle on Sunday, there are still a few places available on the Zip Wire challenge.

Organised by Blair's official charity Barnado's Scotland, spectators have the opportunity to zip wire off the top of the 90' castle tower. It's a perfect, and rare, opportunity to enjoy spectacular views over the estate while descending down the 300m wire – all the while raising money for Blair Castle International's official charity Barnardo's Scotland.

Blair Castle Horse Trials’ brave press officer Hilary Manners, who is a bit of an expert when it comes to flying things, will be one of the first to zoom down the wire. Reaching speeds of up to 30 miles per hour, this challenge is not for the faint hearted and it struck us that this would be the perfect way for an eventing rider to get some adrenaline junkie thrills. Yes, we know they may also be competing on Sunday but please let one rider have a go!!

If you fancy the Zip Wire Challenge, pre-registration is required, and the charity asks that participants aim to raise £100 by October with full details available on their website.
