Just forty minutes drive from Leeds is the world's highest indoor bungee jump - and according to reviews, it's an adrenaline-packed experience you won't forget.
If you're stuck with what to do with the kids now that the heatwave has ended (for now., anyway) and the heavens have opened then we reckon this indoor bungee jump could be just the ticket.
Set in an old steelworks with a 150ft plunge, it's certainly not for the faint of heart - prefaced with a climb up to the platform that you commence in semi-darkness amidst flashing light effects.

As you make your way through up to the tunnel, dry ice is pumped out at you out from the darkness and flashing screens appear at intervals to hype you up for what is to come, with a musical soundtrack to set the atmosphere.
And that's not all. As well as an epic bungee jumping experience, the Abyss at Magna also utilise the breathtaking structures of the former steelworks to host zip wire, abseil, and 'drop free-fall' experiences - where you literally step off a platform and experience falling almost completely unaided.
A real-life leap of faith, whilst you are fully kitted out in a safety harness and attached to a thin safety chord you will still plummet to the ground at speed, slowing only at the last second to touch your feet onto the ground.

Run by the UK Bungee Club, the Abyss at Magna first opened in 2005 and has been used for a number of film and TV filming projects since.
TIckets for experiences start at just £20 for the drop free fall, rising to £69 for what they call the 'awesome foursome experience' which combines all four activities so you can try a bit of everything whilst you're down at the site in Rotherham.

As women around the world swoon over Jacob Elordi, he's too busy loving rocks and sheep.
In case you haven't been on social media over the past week and managed to avoid the influx of paparazzi images, the hotly anticipated 'Wuthering Heights' adaptation is out soon and with that comes heaps of red carpets, screenings and glamorous premieres.
Famously set against the brooding hills of Yorkshire, Wuthering Heights by our very own Emily Brontë follows the tumultuous love story of Heathcliff and Cathy.
Played in the upcoming film by Australian heartthrobs Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie.
During the recent London premiere where Elordi was seen wearing a rather dashing green three piece, the stars were asked what they thought the 'sexiest' thing about Yorkshire is by HitsRadioUK.
A valid question to which Jacob replies "rocks and sheep". I mean, he's got a fair point.
Margot Robbie went into a little more detail, she said "Sunrise and sunset in Yorkshire is a pretty dramatic experience. The sky is literally like red and orange. I honestly couldn't believe it when I was out there. The landscape is stunning."
Why thank you Margot, we absolutely agree. She continues to shower us with compliments stating that the "People are lovely. Pubs are great. I love it"
It seems like Margot has got Yorkshire pretty bang on there, and if she ever needs any pub recommendations then we'll absolutely help her out.
Jacob on the other hand, we know rocks and sheep are sexy but...have you ever met us?
Hopefully he fell in love with our county enough to come back, as we wouldn't mind bumping into him on a hike up the Yorkshire moors.
Popular Leeds gaming bar announces immediate shock closure after going into liquidation
Clementine Hall
Point Blank in Leeds city centre have suddenly closed after going into liquidation.
The popular gaming bar hasn't been open all that long, and was marketed as the country's first simulated shooting range bar.
Despite being a popular attraction since opening last year, the bar has closed immediately, unable to honour any future bookings.
Point Blank confirmed late this Tuesday 3 February that it had sadly entered liquidation, describing the move as “completely unforeseen and beyond our control.”

Up until just a few days ago, the Point Blank branch in Leeds had been promoting events including happy hours, shooting experiences, and even a Superbowl event scheduled for next Sunday 8 February.
A statement on their website reads: "It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Point Blank Shooting has entered liquidation.
"This situation was completely unforeseen and beyond our control. Due to our Manchester landlord entering administration, our lease was lost as part of that process. This had a serious knock-on effect across the wider business, leaving us with no other option.
"After seven incredible years of trading, this is a devastating moment for everyone involved at Point Blank.
"If you currently have a booking with us, we are working closely with the relevant parties to gain clarity and provide answers. We kindly ask for your patience while this process is ongoing.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years — hopefully this is a see you later, not a goodbye."
