Highland Hospice postpones today’s bungee and catapult launches due to high winds

Highland Hospice has promised a new date for bungee jumps and catapult launches after having to postpone the second day of the event due to high winds in the Great Glen.

The event was taking place at Dores on the banks of Loch Ness and numerous people already made successful jumps yesterday but organisers felt there was too great a risk due to blustering conditions to go ahead today.

In a statement online, the Hospice said: “Unfortunately we are having to postpone both Bungee and Catapult Loch Ness today.

“The high wind speeds mean it would be unsafe to go ahead. We know those of you booked on will be disappointed but your safety is our priority.

“We will issue an alternative date asap and get you all jumping soon.”
