Info from Licensor: "A friend and I ventured to some random farm called Cuong Rung Farm in Phong Nha. We were told about it by the duck stop farm which is very popular for travellers. This farm was not as popular but it looked fun. The man offered us the activity of the Monkey Bridge. A 20m long bridge which was around 20cm wide. He told us the aim was to ride the bike across the bridge, an activity created to replicate the olden days when people would need to get across a river so they’d use fallen trees, like monkeys. Hence the name! We jumped on the idea not really realising what we had properly signed up to. We gave it a couple of attempts getting no further than half way. The end resulted in both of us falling flat on our faces across the poll! After many bruises we both thought it wise to stop and sadly missed out on the free beer- a reward for those who succeed in crossing! Overall a hilarious activity and the man at the farm was brilliant and so fun and encouraging! When leaving he asked us to spread the word about his farm and the activity and I was thrilled when my video received lots of views as hopefully that will mean he gets lots of visitors as he deserves it!"
