Speed with Guy Martin - new series

[Tony2or4]

New 4-part series of Speed with Guy Martin starts this coming Sunday, 26th October, 8pm on Channel 4.

The first series was excellent. Hopefully this will be more of the same.

Watching now, just loved to have a go at the sky diving vertical tunnel! That looks so much fun!

There are various places around the country that do it and its not horrendously expensive. Just google for "indoor skydiving".

Edit: Your profile says you're in Surrey. There is Airkix in Basingstoke.

MrsT and I have recently had a go at the AirKix in Manchester - the same one in the programme. Hmm, I could even have been wearing the same suit as Guy. It is enormous fun, though it is over all too soon.

The bit where the instructor grabs you and spirals up to the top of the tunnel & back again is just mental.

Slightly off topic here, but we also recently had a go at flying a hovercraft (round a circuit marked out on a big field near Frodsham, Cheshire). Also enormous fun.




I'll try to post a link if anybody is interested.

I've seen that hovercraft place next to the M56 and was wondering if would be any good.

Ps.not exactly cheap for the number of laps is it?

You're right - definitely on the pricey side, though MrsT had organised some discount via Amazon Local or some such, which made it more palatable.

Going to have to buy the next issue of The Guinness Book of Records, just to see how many times Guy's name appears in it.

Does Greatest Number of Appearances in GBR count as a Guinness record?
