This is the only bridge bungee available in the UK and what a bridge it is! The iconic transporter bridge in Middlesbrough was made famous in the last series of Auf Wiedersehen Pet.
Built in 1911 the bridge is one of only three bridge jumps operating in the world. Arrive easily from the A66 into the transporter bridge visitor centre and from there you will be weighed and kitted out with your back up harness.
Then the biggest climb of your life, 210 steps to the top of the bridge. Once at the top, walk a further 150ft to the jump zone. Take in the fabulous view from 160ft as you wait to be kitted out and final checks made before you jump.
Then it's your turn! On the edge, the jumpmaster shouts 3, 2, 1, Bungee and you are away 160ft above the River Tees. Filled with adrenalin a waiting speed boat plucks you from the air. Then it's back to the shore waving to your family and friends in the viewing area.
A bungee jump from the only bridge site in the UK. A personalised certificate is issued to all jumpers.
Bungee jumping is also available at other venues around the country.
Approximately three Sundays a month throughout the year.
