Hywel Dda Health Charities, the official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board, has announced its 2025 Zip Line Challenge which will see fundraisers take on the world’s fastest zip line.
Taking place on 22nd March 2025, the challenge will see up to 20 fundraisers take flight on the Velocity zip line at Penrhyn Quarry at speeds approaching 100mph.
Set in North Wales near the stunning Snowdonia range in what once was the world’s largest slate quarry, Zip World Penrhyn Quarry provides exhilarating zip-rides 500m above the bright blue quarry lake.
Participants can enter with a discounted non-refundable £25 registration fee and are then required to raise a minimum of £150 for the charity. They can choose to support a specific hospital, ward, service or department which is close to their heart, or to fundraise for general charitable purposes.
The Zip Line Challenge 2025 is open to participants aged 18 and over, and places are available on a first come, first served basis.
Fundraising Officer Bridget Harpwood said:
“We’re really excited about our Zip Line Challenge, we think it will be a truly thrilling day for our fundraisers! If you are interested in creating a truly memorable experience while fundraising for your NHS charity, why not give it a go?”
