Zip the Cow on Yorkshire Day 1 August 2027

About the event

Zip the Cow is an exhilarating adventure sponsored by LCF Law and Crag and Co. Accountants, offering participants two unique experiences: zipping down from the iconic 'Cow' at Ilkley's Cow and Calf Rocks either during daylight or as the sun sets over Wharfedale.
The event takes place atop the majestic Cow rock where adventurers will soar 270 meters through the air at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour. For those who find the climb challenging, lifts are provided for a 1:30 PM start on Saturdays. Participants can also opt for premium slots if they wish to gift places without fundraising commitments.
Daytime adventurers will be rewarded with panoramic views of Wharfedale’s rolling hills and lush landscapes, though it takes courage to glimpse these vistas while hurtling down the zip line! Spaces are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
For larger group bookings or any additional inquiries, contact Andrew Wood at 01535 640176. By participating in Zip the Cow, you agree to adhere to our event terms and conditions available at https://www.sueryder.org/zipthecow.
