Zip the Cow, which takes place each year in July, sees brave individuals walk up to the top of the iconic ‘cow’ at the Cow and Calf Rocks above Ilkley, before whizzing 270m down Ilkley Moor at speeds of up to 35mph.
This year’s event follows the sell-out success of last year, which saw 550 people take flight and generate thousands of pounds for the Sue Ryder, a charity that provides expert palliative care and support to people living with life-limiting conditions.
Below are 11 of the best pictures from this year’s Zip The Cow.
