orBiNg Nick Williams gets to k<strong>now</strong> an old mate better I arrive at the Orb 360 site at Devil’s Dyke with my mate Darren, who’s much more relaxed than me, beca<strong>us</strong>e he’s there to take photos, and I’m there to roll down a hill inside a gigantic plastic globe. Darren has only agreed to come along after establishing from the website he was too heavy to participate, so can’t possibly get roped in. “Don’t worry,” says the bloke in charge, Tom. “We’ve had much bigger guys than you.” Darren gulps, and I start laughing - hysterically once I realise we’re going down the hill in the same orb. To access an orb, you take a flying dive through a hole in the side, ending in a heap in an unfamiliar plastic world. I jump first and then Tom leans in and straps me to the side with a selection of belts. I’m then rolled so I’m hanging from what is <strong>now</strong> effectively the roof, as Darren leaps in and is strapped to the floor. ‘Are you ready?’ says Tom. I look down on 17ish stone of Darren and wonder how strong the straps are. Before I can say ‘no’, however, we’re off and rolling. The first 360 degrees is disorienting, but the straps hold and I feel more relaxed. Within seconds, we’re rapidly gaining speed, and I can see grass, sky, grass, sky, appearing behind a manically laughing Darren’s head. The next sensation is brief weightlessness, as we appear to leave the ground, followed by relief, as we start to slow down. However, we then roll backwards and sideways, which induces w w w. V I VA l E w E s . C o M w E t r y o U t a slight feeling of na<strong>us</strong>ea, and a lot more conf<strong>us</strong>ion. We slow again and eventually stop. We’re giggling like kids. Next it’s aqua-orbing, which is the same size sphere, but this one has a second ball within it which means there are no straps, beca<strong>us</strong>e you’re (in theory) staying in the same spot. Before I get in, they throw in a bucket of icy-cold soapy water. As I have no change of clothes I decide to strip down to my pants and t-shirt, so I’ll have something dry to change back in to. I hurl myself in to the orb, and slide around before eventually getting my back against the orb. I’m ready to roll, but to my horror, realise Darren is getting in too! “Is that safe?” I whinge, pathetically, before bursting out laughing as Darren crashes into me and slides helplessly around (think new-born lamb attempting to stand). He eventually settles and we’re off again. We’re not spinning 360, but it’s actually more fun than the ‘normal’ orb, as you slide crazily around, sometimes backwards, sometimes sidewards, always laughing. It’s a fantastic experience, and even better than I hoped it would be. And to be honest, if you’d have told me last week that I’d have a great time rolling around in a giant inflatable with Darren, in our underpants, well I wouldn’t have believed you… For rates and availability visit www.orb360.co.uk or call 08456 434360 8 1
