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 pizza and wedges to nibble at.

- Cocktail ambassadors
- Welcome flavoured vodka shot
- History of the cocktail

The Site:
This splendid paintball site makes the utmost use of the terrain, with an exciting variety of games and unusual zones that you would not encounter at other, more standard, sites. The differing scenarios include such awesomeness as:
 
Afghan Fort
A giant fortress dominates a clearing in the jungle, and it’s crawling with enemy forces.  Your mission is to carry out a “Halo-Insertion”.  That’s SAS-talk for dropping one of your team members in with an explosive device to take-out the enemy base.  Who will be brave enough to accept the mission? 

Tomb Raider
Your mission is to trek through the jungle and locate an ancient stone pyramid.  It is said that a sacred amulet lies deep in the cold heart of the pyramid. The amulet is imbued with remarkable powers.  Evil forces are converging on the pyramid from another direction and they are out to grab the amulet for themselves; they'll stop at nothing to succeed.

Sea caves and swirling ocean swells combine to produce a truly wild experience with cliff jumps for the bold. The stag gets thrown off regardless.

Overview:
It's very hard to beat a good day at the races and if you win, it's even better.

The atmosphere at a race track is always amazing whether you're dressed in your Sunday best in the members' enclosure sipping bubbly or staying casual and snacking on hotdogs all day.

Those that think they know a thing or two can study the form and chew their pencils whilst the others can pick on the funniest name or the best coloured silks. Horse racing covers all the bases and has something for everyone.

Includes:
 - Ticket entry to the races

Overview:
This is the ideal event for those wanting to take advantage of some of the stunning scenery in the area.
 Most of the events will require teamwork and some encouragement - it's a great way for people who don't know many of the group to feel comfortable, as well as the old buddies sharing some incredible adrenaline rushes!
Pick any one of the events below and brace yourself for an active day.

Canyoning:
Canyoning is traveling in canyons using a variety of techniques. You will cover a distance of 4 km, descending 200m down waterfalls and rapids, abseiling, scrambling, swimming and jumping, the highest jump being 30ft! This is a high adrenaline activity ideal for adventurous groups with a taste for challenging physical activities.

White Water Rafting:
Wales offers some challenging grade 3 rapids up to 10km in length. Each raft will have an expert instructor to help you navigate your way and try to keep you inside the raft for as long as possible.

Coasteering:
Very similar to Canyoning but the trick's in the name. Rather than traversing your way through a canyon, this is done on the coast where you have to make your way around the coastline by any means possible. You'll be climbing, scrambling, jumping and swimming throughout the event.

Duration:
- The events all run from 10am - 2pm

Upgrade:

Overview
Quad Biking is the perfect way to sample the thrill of motorsport machinery amongst the beautiful surroundings of the Great Outdoors.

Powerful, easy to handle and great fun to ride, even if you’re a complete novice you’ll soon be blasting down forest tracks like a seasoned professional, thanks to our expert instructors.

In fact they’re such an accessible form of motorsport fun that anyone can soon find themselves careering along bumpy woodland paths, even if you’ve never stepped into a go-kart or ridden a motorbike before.

Format
The quads are a step up from the ones on offer at most activity centres. You won't be piddling about on 125cc automatics here; you'll be introduced to 250cc Hondas with no restrictions. With testing and varied terrain that undulates, twists and turns, there's plenty of chance to put your skills to the test before you pick up cheek-rippling speeds across the flat stretches. Only real men can handle them so if you have any weaklings in your group you better send them off on a nature ramble. 

Included
- All safety gear and full briefing and tuition.

Duration
- 1.5 hours overall
- 1 hour riding time

Notes
- 15 max on the trek at one time
- Groups >15 will be split between 2 sessions

Quad Biking:
Enjoy the mud and thunder of a thrilling 1/2 mile track quad biking session. If you like your activities rough and ready then this will be right up your dirt track. The quads are a step up from the ones on offer at most activity centres. You won't be piddling about on slow automatics here; you'll be introduced to anything up to 200cc quads. You'll pick up cheek rippling speed as you speed round this track. When this gets rough there are more bumps and humps than a pool party at the Playboy mansion. Only real men can handle them so if you have any weaklings in your group you better book them a double archery session. 

High Ropes:
Climbing, scrambling and swinging like a monkey is instinctive to every man. As we all know, you should always follow your instincts, and what better way get in touch with your inner chimp than by spending an afternoon on the high ropes? You'll get to climb ropes, hurtle down the 200 foot zip slide, balance accross tight ropes, scale the climbing tower, abseil, walk the beams and test yourself in a plethora of challenges 40 foot above terra firma. Even if you're not particularly agile, all is not lost, as there are courses set for climbers of all abilities.
Leave the vertigo at home: this'll sort out the Tarzans from the Janes.

Duration:
3 hours

 

Overview:
‘Lets go surfin' now, everybody's learning how', sung the Beach Boys and they weren't wrong. The coolest of all water sports is more popular than ever and if the only surfing you've done is for porn on the internet then this is your chance to learn the real thing.

Once you've got kitted out with a wetsuit and surfboard you'll be given an introduction to water safety and beach awareness. Remember the ocean can be a cruel mistress. Under the guidance of fully qualified experts you'll hit the water, at first learning how to trim and ride a board lying down.

After some practice, and no doubt swallowing several litres of sea water, even the most uncoordinated of your group will be jumping up and riding the waves by the end of the session... hopefully.

Surfers of all abilities are catered for so regardless of whether you fancy yourself as a Point Break Swayze or haven't been in the sea since a traumatic primary school swimming pool incident, the instructors will be on hand to make sure that everyone has a top time. All girls love a surfer, so make sure you drop your surfing exploits into conversation if you're waxing lyrical with any beach babes when you hit town in the evening. Gnarly.

Included:
- Instructors
- Safety briefing
- Wetsuit
- Surfboard

What you need to bring:
- Towel
- Swim wear to put on under your wetsuit
- Warm clothes to wear afterwards

Duration:
- 1/2 day lasts 3 hours

Overview:
Get high in the forest with a thrilling high ropes session. Set deep in the Moor Valley this is a brilliant setting for you to face your fears and swing through the trees like Tarzan.

After being kitted out in all of the essential equipment and a full safety briefing from the instructors, it'll be time to head for the trees. You'll tackle a course of over 30 hanging rope bridges, scramble nets and zip slides which are up to 30ft off the forest floor. You can also have a go on one of the few tree zip lines in the country.

If you are a bit nervous about heights our advice is simple; clear your mind and focus on what is in front of you. Whatever you do don't think about slipping over and you falling head first to your death*. 

Included:
- Briefing and guidance from qualified instructors
- All safety equipment

*This won't happen as you'll be attached by a safety harness at all times so at worst you'll swing in the air for a few seconds before being pulled to safety. Mong.

 

Overview:
Ever fancied getting your hands on a shotgun, setting your sights down the shiny double-barrel and scratching that itchy trigger finger of yours?
The very sociable set up of the shoot means that there will be plenty of opportunity to comment, critique and even applaud your fellow competitors attempts, so it’s a particularly superb activity for drawing together groups where not everyone knows each other that well. By the end of the shoot, they’ll all be bonding down the pub over their sharp-eyed skills, or indeed lack of them, for those who are firing blanks

Clays is also a great leveller, so it’s perfect for groups where some are not the most active. 

Format:
You'll begin with five clays on a single incoming trap, the easiest, and then progress to crossing single, straight up and pairs.

Included:

All the equipment and tuition is included along with 25 clays per person.

Duration:
Allow approximately 2 hours for this event - (Obviously this varies according to your group size!)

Notes:
20-Bore shotguns can be requested (These produce much less recoil - perfect if anyone is worried about bruised shoulders) 

Overview:
There's more to cocktail making than just pouring a few spirits in a glass and giving it a bit of a shake - enter the world of Mixology.

Mixology is an art: get it right and you can create delicious drinks which will be an explosion of pleasure on your tongue, but get it wrong and you'll be pulling pained faces and reaching for the mouthwash!

After a welcome drink 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 - where the word originates - and the tools and bar skills behind some of the world's most famous drinks. If you don't know the difference between a Hawthorn strainer and a Boston shaker, you'll find out.

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.

Your host will then demo a range of cocktails displaying all of the main cocktails styles and everyone will get behind the bar to create them themsleves including martinis, shaken drinks, layered drinks, mojitos and milky cocktails.

Guests will then be able to choose to make another cocktail of their choice either straight up or as a game/race/team competition or simply to relax and enjoy afterwards.

Finally, guests can leave with a bang as they enjoy a 'vodka train' cocktail domino rally as a farewell drink. All guests will also receive a Cocktail Master Cetificate plus the group leader will receive a keepsake complete with photos.

Duration:
1-2 hours. This may vary depending on the size of your group.

Overview:
Gorge scrambling involves exactly what it says on the tin. Grab your tin opener and what do you have? - yep, scrambling through gorges. A top activity for the adventurous who have harbored a fascination for clambering over rocks, climbing through wet crevices and jumping into plunge pools ever since they watched 'The Goonies' all those years ago. You'll need to have a basic level of fitness but the guide will look after you and tailor the activity to match the capabilities of the group, especially if some of the guys have beer bellies that have seen a 'truffle shuffle' or two.

Format:
You'll be kitted up by your instructors, who'll give you a thorough safety briefing. You'll then hit the start point, where, led by your instructors, you'll begin your ascent into the gorge. You'll find plenty of tricky terrain to traverse, along with rocky outcrops and plunge pools to jump into. Great fun.

Duration:
- Actual event lasts for 3 hours, travelling time is additional 1.5 hours (round-trip).  

Notes:
- A packed lunch for everybody can be included for £6.50.  (Recommended - needs to be pre-ordered)
- Every participant will need to submit a Health & Saftey form prior to the event and provide height and weight information several weeks in advance so appropiate wetsuits and kit can be put aside.  
- If there has been an abnormal amount of rain it is possible that the gorge could flood and the event not go ahead. Only a partial refund will be offered if the event is cancelled at late notice.

Robin Hood was cool (no, not the Kevin Costner version) and William Tell was only a Granny Smith away from lodging an arrow through his son's noggin. With heroes like this in England's rich history who wouldn't want to pick up a bow and arrow, take aim and shoot 2 foot wide of the target to the heckling jeers of their compadres. With steady handedness a prerequisite, those who’ve had a heavy one the night before will be pulling their arrows from the dirt.

Luckily you'll have competition standard bows to use and instructors to help you to get to grips with them so you might just nail that bullseye. After a short practice it's competition time with the victor doubtlessly thrusting his bow skyward in jubilation, cheering and grunting like a Neanderthal who's just floored a Sabretooth on the hunt.

Overview:
Experience the excitement of a paintball battle in 30 acres of stunning Welsh woodland. The varied terrain features dense woods, open fields, embankments and a gorge with a stream. The dynamic site allows for endless game opportunities and a day of action packed paintballing.

A series of games such as the ever popular 'Capture The Flag' and 'Hamburger Hill' will be played on this totally natural site. With less barricades and objects to hide behind, each player must rely on tactical skill and stealth to defeat their opponents. And it wouldn't be a stag weekend if the stag or hen didn't get their comeuppance on the field, so expect some shenanigans! The stag or hen may even get their chance for revenge before the day is through…
