Motorised Activities (FUN):
Gemini Grass Track Karts
Copious amounts of oversteer make these karts great fun. Teams will run an enduro.
Quad Agility Tests & Obstacle Course
Think you can handle an all-terrain quad bike or complete a slalom course in reverse? Then try this event and put your team's co-ordination skills to the test!
Powerturns
Wild Machines, with two engines two seats and NO STEERING WHEEL! Can you control the car let alone your partner! A great event!
Blindfold Driving
The driver of the 4x4 vehicle is blindfolded and has to negotiate a coned course with the help of directions from the passenger/team-mate. Instructions, even when shouted, are not necessarily obeyed! This leads to frustrating but hilarious fun!
Rage Buggy Time Trails
Outrageous vehicles with copious amounts of over-steer, 360° spins and loads of mud. Can your team remain cool, calm and collected? Fantastic machines!!!
Segway X2 Experience
Experience the unique feeling of riding Segways. Segways are upright two wheel vehicles that guests stand on and using weight distribution only for speed and direction. Segways are great fun and can operate on a variety of terrains.
Quad Bike Safari
A bike per person, tuition from our Instructor and its laughter and thrilling excitement all the way on the Quad Bike Safari. The cross-country trek through the quarry, across streams, and up and down hillsides is seriously good fun.
Shooting Activities (COMPETITIVE AND LEARN A SKILL):
Clay Pigeon Shooting (Available at an additional cost)
Find the ‘Top Gun’ of the day. Whatever your ability, we will have you knocking the clays out of the sky. THE CHALLENGE: - To shoot as many clays as possible. Highly trained firearms instructor will be on hand to give you an outstanding experience.
Archery or Crossbows (Available at an additional cost)
Can you consistently hit the ‘Gold’ and record the highest team score for the day? This event provides a fascinating insight into the techniques and equipment used in the middle ages.
Activities In The Sky (CHALLENGING):
Crate Build
The challenge to earn the required points is for the team to build the highest possible tower using beer crates while suspended from the forest canopy. A truly adrenalising experience ! ! !
Climbing Wall
Whether you are an experienced rock climber or complete novice, why not try this spectacular discipline. At 40ft, the outdoor wall is one of the tallest in the UK. Exceed your expectations by climbing to the top, or as high as you can. The wall can accommodate six people climbing at any one time on both vertical and inclined slopes.
Gladiator Challenge (Climbing Wall Team Challenge)
Using automatic belay devices climbers go head to head – fantastic spectator sport
Anagram Challenge (Climbing Wall Team Challenge)
Uncover the letters at different heights and solve the anagram – choose your height.
Route Selection (Climbing Wall Team Challenge)
Plan a route and challenge your colleagues to a climb
Leap of Faith
For a real adrenalin rush, try climbing to the top of a 35ft telegraph pole, standing on a platform no larger than 1ft square and leaping for a Bovy (just in reach). Huge energy surrounds this activity, with support given as you literally step into the unknown.
Team Building Activities (WORKING TOGETHER):
Rescue Mission
A plane has crash landed in the middle of an island and there is an unexploded bomb. Everyone on the island has to get off – this is a race against the ticking time bomb….and a race against the team on the other side of the island!!!!! This activity utilises a real aeroplane and 12ft deep moat to negotiate.
Minefield
Your team are stranded on the wrong side of a minefield and have to negotiate the live bed of mines without hitting one.
Floodwaters
Your teams have been stranded on opposite sides of a lake deep in the woods (real! not imagined). Can you get the vital information across the floodwaters using only the equipment provided? Be careful there is a sting in the tail and contingency planning will be required!
Organisation Maze
Your team is faced with a large grid, across which there is one correct path. The team must find the correct path across the grid by trial and error, against the clock. There are strict penalties and rules with this great fun activity, not least of which is that the team are not allowed to talk or make any sound once the task has started! Not easy!
Traverse
The ideal warm up for everyone. Rope courses can be the ultimate challenge for groups and individuals. Low elements are 18” to 24” from the ground so it’s not scary at all. Delegates must work as a team in order to complete them successfully. They include; Swinging Logs, parallel Ropes, Burma Bridge, Vines, Scramble Nets, Wild Woosey, See-saw etc
Swing Bridge
Your team have to be transported above the woodland floor using amongst other things barrels, a plank and a tyre suspended from the trees. The solution to the task is in the title - is your team up to the challenge?
Tyrolean Bridge
The bridge you have to cross has been blown apart and needs to be reconstructed as a matter of urgency…however, the electronic conduit between each side needs to be completed in the exact mapped format to operate properly.
Mohawk WalK
Can your team compete the section of wires without touching the ground? The teams use the ropes hanging from various positions and a nominated ‘spotter’ to assist in the crossing.
Nuclear Fuel Rods
Your team has been chosen to assist in a nuclear facility. Your challenge is to insert the fuel rods in their correct housings. The problem is that only one team member can make it into the chamber at a time and must communicate to the rest of the team how to progress with the challenge…the fuel rods are different lengths as are the housings….tricky one!
Bobsleigh Push Start
One of it’s kind! The official dry training track for the Olympians. With top class coaching, teams push a 2 or 4-man ‘Bob’ for the fastest time of the day. Requires controlled aggression, team power and co-ordinated speed. Although it may seem surprising, parallels are easily drawn with the work environment.
Raft Build
The aim is for each Team to construct a Raft from the components provided and get some or all of the team across the water in the quickest possible time without getting wet! - (Life Jackets are supplied to all competitors).
Gun Run
These are replica Field Guns. The team must complete the obstacle course with the Field Guns and limbers, breaking down the guns where necessary to complete each section, which may be a limbo to get under, a high bar to get over, a narrow gate to get through, or a slalom to negotiate. Not only does the gun and its components have to get under or over the obstacles, but so do the team members. An exercise which relies on the team to plan, communicate, support and work together.
