I got an unusual present for my birthday last year - a go at HydroZorbing! For the uninitiated (and this included me) it's basically rolling down a hill in a ball, with some water thrown in for good measure.

Anyway, this weekend we made the trip down to Zorb South near Dorchester, and I threw myself down a hill. For fun.

Depending on browser and so on you should have a video playing just below this, but if you can't see it for any reason then you can right click here and save as...

It's totally mental and bloody good fun! Highly recommended!
