About the Event

Zip the Cow is an exhilarating adventure organized by Sue Ryder and sponsored by LCF Law and Crag and Co. Accountants, offering participants a thrilling experience atop Ilkley’s iconic Cow and Calf Rocks. This unique challenge invites walkers to reach the summit of “the Cow” before embarking on a high-speed slide down a 270-meter track at up to 35 miles per hour.
Daytime adventurers will be treated to breathtaking views over Wharfedale, though they might find it challenging to keep their eyes open during the adrenaline-fueled descent. Spaces are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, ensuring an exclusive experience for those who secure their spot early.
