The Infinity Bridge at Honister Slate Mine

Here is a video of a recent trip to Honister slate mine in the Lake District where I set about doing the infinity bridge.
Great fun. A little disappointed with the promise of a 1,000ft drop below me (instead it’s actually to your right) however for a nice price of £25 it’s a very enjoyable experience. Great, happy and friendly instructor.

[@WildGingerBruce]

That looked like great fun, I'll have to pop in next time im up there👍 All the best Bruce

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

[@now-networkofwomen4084]

@@RamblingWithRitchie I am 👍 It looks so much fun. Can I ask what head cam you use..?

[@taxibrod]

Really enjoyed this John, thanks.

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

Cheers mate. Glad u liked it

[@Mick526]

Their website advertises this as 1,000 ft ABOVE SEA LEVEL. What relevance is that?!

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

Haha. Yeah mate. It’s very misleading for sure

[@alancrew8481]

Looks good, not sure I'd have the balance to do it but must be worth a go! Thanks for the videos John, I've subscribed.

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

I reckon you could. Thanks for subscribing I appreciate it.

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

[@Shane85Furey]

Ohhh boy my knees just by seeing this video jelly isn't the word

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

Aha. Honestly it’s not that bad

[@BadAnalRim]

That looks great, I'll have to get up there

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

It’s good fun mate. Cheers for watchin.

[@gillhepp7760]

OMG! I’d have killed you for wobbling the bridge if I was on it! 🤣 That tunnel would have finished me off too. Well done.

[@AustenMerritt]

I would inclined to cut the rope behind me if anyone did that to me!!! :-)

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

Haha. We all had a laugh and all got to meet each other at the beginning. I was with a really good group of people and we had plenty of laughs.

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

Hahaha. We were all a great group full of laughs etc. Nice meet up with the group at the beginning etc

[@hartsyde]

ooh they added lots more cables to it :-) it was only 3 when i did it ..

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

Yeah 3 sounds dodgy mate 😂😂 Seems a lot more secure now

[@JamesBrown-or1hu]

I would have felt conned if i went without watching ur Video Thanks

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

Glad you didn’t do it then mate haha. Cheers for watching.

[@openmindedwonderer]

😱 that looks so scary not something I could do

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

You could… if ya really wanted to.

[@EllOfAWalk]

Great content. New subscriber here. Keep up the good work🙂👍EOAW

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

Cheers mate. Glad you liked the video. Are you based in the UK?

[@EllOfAWalk]

@@RamblingWithRitchie yes Matey I'm in Leeds

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

Nice one. I’m in Darwen, Lancs

[@EllOfAWalk]

@@RamblingWithRitchie yea thought I heard the accent. I set up my chennel to encourage walking for wellness 👍

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

I’ll sub ya

[@Daz555Daz]

To be honest I found this a little dull. The 1000ft claim also annoyed me a little too. It's not even in reference to any of the ground below - it's the altitude above sea level which is kind of irrelevant really. Much better is their absolutely superb Via Ferrata which only costs 20 quid more.

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

Yeah mate ur right. I found it a bit meh compared to the via Ferrata. That was really enjoyable. The 1000ft thing is a load of rubbish.

[@rinakaur7245]

How long did that take you?

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

Hi rina. I was at the back so took a bit longer than I thought like 15-20mins. Lots of slow people in front of me.

[@carolynhall1302]

I couldn't do this!

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

Aha. I’m sure you could. If you really tried 😂

[@Johnny.Verplancke]

As you i was looking forward trying this but now less, seen pictures and it was as if you were actually crossing a deep gorge, now you showed your not tnx for spilling the beans, indeed a bit of a bummer on it all...

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

Same mate. It’s what I thought. Still good fun but wasn’t as high as it’s made out to be. However I am glad I did it

[@gerardball6866]

Lol don’t look I have a camel toe has to be quite of the year :)

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

😂😂😂 cheers mate.

[@mattstoyles423]

Lol at the people wearing helmets on the bus, must've been bumpy.

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

Haha. To be fair though they make you put it on down at the bottom

[@AdventureMadnessUK]

Bit mean of you to shake the bridge and scare people. F doing that, nice video scared me right off.

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

Haha. We all met at the beginning and we were all a great group of people. It was all just part of the banter. I only did it once. The people up front actually did it more than me. It’s a great thing to do and I’m sure you will enjoy it.

[@AdventureMadnessUK]

@@RamblingWithRitchie No chance I get this weird pain in my balls as soon as I go high even watching. Hahahaha not me m8, no I'm happy to keep my feet in the ground although I did do the wire bridge at Glen Nevis. I've been there in the cold and hight of the summer. Crossed in the summer only as worst that can happen is a plop in the river lol

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

Wow. I haven’t seen the bridge at Glen Nevis. You got a pic? Also if you have insta @ritchiesworld Cheers

[@AdventureMadnessUK]

@@RamblingWithRitchie I don't do insta m8 but if you scroll through my videos you will see. I think the video is called Steel Falls Glen Nevis but I've been a few times. It's not high and about 30ft long. Nothing as impressive as that one.

[@RamblingWithRitchie]

No worries mate. Will defo check it out!
