travellin' light Posted July 16, 2010 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Has anyone done the Wicker Basket Sled ride In Funchal ? Do you know if it is available on Sundays ? I read somewhere that it closes at 1pm on Sundays and we only arrive in Madeira at around midday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capasamari Posted July 17, 2010 #5 Share Posted July 17, 2010 My mum and dad (both in their 70's) did it one December and enjoyed it. The route is no longer cobbled having been tarmacced, so it's not too bumpy a ride. They take a photo of you on your way down which is available to buy at the end.

sandbox Posted July 17, 2010 #6 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Yep did it a couple of years ago. I would say its a must. I doe's not go as fast as you think and make sure you have a small tip ready at the end. A euro each would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
