    Trying to get a gang of ous to do it in July.I have bungee'd a few times, 2 around 70 metres in Holland and one just under 100m in England, but they are nothing compared to Goldeneye :pac:

    Would like some tips on where is the best place to stay, whats the nightlife and of course the bungee itself etc :D

    You bungee lads are bleedin' mental. :p

    I'd love to try something like this, but at the same time, i'd be bricking it!
    100m/ps
    That's some speed to be traveling with out a engine.

    Bungee ireland go to most of the colleges during the year, dont know what height they are, I think around 50 metres.Only one I know of that is on fixed platform available through the year in the south, is the one in the Killary adventure centre near Galway, but its pretty small only 30 metres or so.

    It really needs to be over 60m, as once the rope straigthens out the sensatation is gone.At 60 metres you are only falling maybe 1 sec or 1.5 before the rope straightens a bit and in that first sec as you leave the leave the platform you think you are going to die :D That feeling is crazy and you really need it to be a bit longer to get really scared/pumped up.

    I would love to do this one ( 233m, over concete ), but its too far away

    Dont know anyone that has done it but I was trying to get a few friends to go. Its not that far from Bergamo Airport which Ryanair fly into. And while you are there you could go to Innsbruck which has a 192m jump. They are not that far apart.
