Video: Man slacklines 150m over Cheddar Gorge Daredevil Dan Hunt balances barefoot on high wire suspended 150m (492 ft) above Cheddar Gorge in Somerset. Using a video camera on the end of a pole fearless Dan Hunt filmed a bird's eye view of the beauty spot as he crossed the gorge. Standing on a two inch thick line wearing jeans and a yellow cagoule, the snack vendor from London walked the 28m (92ft) line. Mr Hunt scaled the gorge last year with fellow rock climbers Nadeem Al-Khafaji and Pedro Pimentel. The trio spent the morning walking between two cliffs and taking pictures of the stunt. The group were inspired by the slackline pioneers who invented the sport in Californiaʼs Yosemite Valley in the late 1970s and, more recently, by slacklining legend Dean Potter who has taken highlining to a whole new level. In the UK, slacklining in the park (low to the ground) has recently become much more popular but highlining remains something of a slackline subculture practised by only a handful of the best slackers.
