Blind Drive
Manoeuvre a 4x4 over and around obstacles and angles whilst blindfolded and directed by your co-driver. This activity is a test to teamwork and builds trust, cooperation and requires a high degree of good communication as well as being hilarious and fun! The driver is totally reliant on the co-drivers instructions to safely navigate the vehicle through the course.

Reverse Steer Jeeps
You turn right, the vehicle goes left and vice versa. Then try it blindfolded with your team member navigating. The steering is set up in reverse, testing coordination and preconditioning to the limit. Even the most confident driver will find this both challenging and hilarious, leaving a trail of battered cones in their wake. One team member drives the jeep whilst another gives direction and encouragement.

Overview:
If you’re looking for an activity to make the weekend memorable, or something to bring together a group of girls who don’t all know each other , then cocktail making, or mixology as it’s called, is the perfect solution.

Experienced, professional and friendly mixologists will take you step by step through the history of cocktails and then show you how to make three of the classics, before handing you the bottles and letting your imagination and creativity run wild.

As you experiment under expert guidance as to what works and what doesn’t, you’ll start to appreciate a whole new art form and most excitingly develop skills which you can then hone with friends and family in the years to come.

Format:
Each group will have one or more cocktail ambassadors who will brief you on the day's activities before giving a short introductory talk on the history of the cocktail and the origin of the word. Each member of your group will then be given a bar tool which they will have to try to identify before putting the tools in the correct order of use when making a cocktail.

The ambassador will then make an introduction shot for the group where he/she will explain what all of the bar tools are used for. If you don't know the difference between a Hawthorn strainer and a Boston shaker, you'll find out.

Everyone then makes lemonade using real lemons, gomme and soda water, and you'll learn about how to perfectly balance sweet and sour. You'll use your lemonade to make a Raspberry Vodka Collins and a Passion Fruit Krushka.

You'll then be talked through the history of, and taught how to make a Mojito/Bison Grass Mojito, a Pear Caipirowska, a Cosmopolitan and a White Russian/Bride. Then it'll be your turn to show off your cocktail skills by going head to head with another member of your group in a shake off where you'll each make one of the cocktails.

The event will end with a mini quiz with two free cocktail vouchers each on offer for the winning team. To soak up some of the alcohol, your group will also have a couple of food platters to nibble at, with a wide variety of food.

- Cocktail ambassadors
- Welcome flavoured vodka shot

Overview:
There's nothing quite like a bit of cut-throat rivalry with your mates, and this type of high end kart racing encapsulates it perfectly. It’s said that nice guys come last, so the question here is do you have the competitive instinct, controlled aggression and, above all, the kahoonas required to finish first? Or are you happy to gaze meekly down the tailpipe of your pal as he outfoxes you up the inside and sails onto the chequered flag and glory?

The Karts:
The boys in the pits have just taken charge of a new fleet of some of the most advanced general usage karts available.  These 390cc babies are no pussycats and, in the right hands, are capable of hitting an awesome (and scary) 60mph when fully wound out.

The Track:
This snaking 1050m monster is challenging, wet or dry. It needs respect and sensible use of the throttle when laying down the power on the back end of the bends, too much and you spin, not enough and you're behind.  The 200m back straight, flowing into a broad sweeping hairpin, allows you to really drop the hammer and tests your manhood with regard to how late you leave the braking.

The fully undercover combined Pitts / Viewing area allow for a close up look at the commotion of the driver changes and have an electronic lap time and position display. 

Endurance Team Racing:
After kitting up and a quick safety briefing drivers, will be divided into teams of 2 and given a short run on the circuit to get a feel of the karts and the corners.

From there the flag will drop and you’re off on a 1 hour non-stop ‘Le Mans’ style race.  Which ever team (up to 20 karts on the track at any one time) has the most laps racked up on the computer scoring system when the clock stops is the winner.  Your arms and shoulders will start to go after about 8 laps of wrestling with the circuit, so well managed pit stops and driver changes will be key to your chances.

A presentation follows the race with trophies for the top 3 teams and a bottle of bubbly to spray for the winners.

Duration:
- 2 hours on-site
- 1 hour of driving per team (30 mins per person) 

Notes:
- Food and Drink available from onsite café.

Such a unique experience is ideal to celebrate a special occasion and will make any weekend away memorable.

What it involves:

Overview
There's nothing quite like a bit of head-to-head rivalry with your mates. They say that nice guys come last, so the question is: do you have the competitive instinct and controlled aggression needed to finish first? Or are you happy to look down the tailpipe of your pal as he passes the chequered flag? No one wants that on their record for future pub banter.
 
Forget about speed limits and points on your licence, put your foot to the floor and burn rubber around the one of the city's  great karting tracks. Karting was made for large groups and whether you are racing individually or in teams everyone’s eyes will be on the leader board to see who’s on top.

The new 450m circuit features tight hairpins, a double underpass and speedy straights- nail the high-speed corners and you'll be odds-on for a quick lap, get it wrong and you'll have a time that would embarrass your grandmother. Can you post a new lap record?

So suit up, strap in, grab the wheel and unleash the speed demon inside!

Format
