A picture of a man "Zipping the Cow"

About

Zip slide from the top of the Cow, at the Cow and Calf rocks above Ilkley, in summer 2025 to help support Sue Ryder’s expert, compassionate end-of-life care.

Walk to the top of the iconic “cow” at the Cow and Calf Rocks above Ilkley and then jump from it, sliding 270m at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour.

Participants will take in spectacular views of Wharfedale....if they dare open their eyes!

Our two headline sponsors for this year's event are Crag & Co. Accountants and Buntons Plant Hire.

This event will be held on the morning and afternoon of Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th July 2025. Places are booked on a first come, first served basis.

This event is an ideal activity for those who want to do something special to celebrate a big birthday and to benefit a great charity in the process.

Unlike a run or cycle ride, it requires zero training (though a degree of bravery is required). In previous events, we've had participants ranging in age from 8 to 80, some of whom had disabilities, so it really is an event for all.
