Overview:
These karts were recently featured in a ‘Top Gear' magazine article written by Jeremy Clarkson. This sums up his impression and is a direct quote from the article: ‘Without wishing to sound completely spoiled, I've got a Ferrari in the garage and yet, give me the choice this afternoon of going for a blast in that, or going for a spin on the Hoover-powered bedspring and there's no contest. The BoCart wins every time.'

Format:
An initial driver briefing is followed by a couple of laps following a pace vehicle to give the drivers a feel for the course. The group is then split into groups (ideally 4 groups of 4, but obviously this depends on numbers), who will then compete against each other in a full on 1 hour endurance race. The aim of the event is for each team to accrue as many laps as possible within the 1 hour time frame. Each group will be in charge of how they handle driver changeovers (which is where the tactics come in). Generally your arms will feel like they are about to drop off after about 4-5 laps!

Specification:
13hp Honda GX390 4-stroke engine, rear suspension, oil clutch, disc brakes, ATV type tyres, and a 3-point safety harness.

Notes:
- The activity will last approximately 1¼ - 1½ hours
- If the conditions are too wet to run the event at an enjoyable level it will be swapped for quad biking.

Overview 
A day at the races is a great way to combine glamour and drinking with a hint of gambling too.
While others are walking around the city in pink boas and L plates you can dress to impress and have a fantasic day out.

The Track
A great choice of bars and catering outlets, including the Bubbles Champagne Bar all situated at ground floor level.

The Food Court also forms part of the Grandstand Enclosure and offers access to an al-fresco seated terrace on the first floor overlooking the course, saddling boxes, parade ring and winner’s enclosure.

The Grandstand Enclosure also offers easy access to the betting ring and outside space to the front of the Lazarus Grandstand. There is no dress code for this enclosure.

Included
Grandstand Enclosure Entry (tickets left at the gate for you)

Overview:
The Oxford English Dictionary defines zorbing as: 'a sport in which a participant is secured inside an inner capsule in a large, transparent ball which is then rolled along the ground or down hills'

As long as you agree that getting strapped inside a big sphere with a cushion of air between you and the ground and being thrown down a hill reaching speeds of up to 50/60 kmph is a sport, then it is pretty much spot on. Whilst we don't expect this to make an appearance at the 2012 Olympics, we can't recommend it enough.

This is the best way to experience how a hungover hamster accidentally strapped into its ball and inadvertently booted down a hill at your local park would feel. The only difference is that rather than emerging petrified and harboring gnawing disdain for your tormenter, you'll be giggling and stumbling like a dizzy school kid, scrambling back up the hill for another go.

Ever wondered what it feels like to be a sock? Well, probably not, but that doesn't mean you won't enjoy the washing machine run. Fill the sphere with water before you roll and get a soaking for your troubles. Excellent.

Fast, exhilarating and incomparably unique, the year of the sphere is here.

Included:
- 1 run (paired riders)

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.
 
This track features both indoor and outdoor sections, so it's a full-on karting experience where different weather conditions require true skills to master. So suit up, strap in, grab the wheel and unleash the speed demon inside!

Format
Each driver will receive 5 practice laps, then in teams they will race for 30 minutes per person, each team shares one kart – it is up to the team how often they change the driver . The team that complete the most laps within the time limit will be victorious. - This event really is an endurance test and groups need to know that it will involve a lot of driving – for the serious karter/adrenalin junkie.

Duration
Allow approximately 2-3 hours for this event, depending on group size.

Notes
This event can be combined with other activities such as clay shooting, zorbing or tank driving at the same site.

Overview:
If you spend half your life stuck in traffic, or drive a Fiat Uno, this is your chance to fulfil your need for speed with some high-octane off road karting.   

These 400cc off road beasts are capable of speeds of up to 60mph and have front and rear suspension, which will no doubt be put fully to the test as you career around the circuit!

Depending on the size of your group you'll race either head to head, in a team relay challenge or in time trails.

Included:
- Safety briefing
- All equipment

 

Overview:
If someone says 'Archer', what do you think of? The biggest liar and worst novelist since the beginning of time, or a man shooting a bow and arrow? Well, whatever you think, fill your quiver full of arrows and nail some bullseyes.

Archery doesn't score highly in the glamour stakes, but when it comes to fun factor it's close to the top of the list. Always great to get some friendly rivalry going amongst your group, you'll be able to shoot until your arm falls off... not literally, but you be able to shoot plenty of arrows. Top shot gets the bragging rights, worst shot gets the beers in.

Included:
- Expert tuition
- Safety briefing
- All equipment   

Overview:
Do you like football? Do you like humans? Do you like tables? If so, a game of human table football will press all the right buttons.

You've played table football in the pub, now imagine an 55ft x 25ft inflatable pitch with you as one of the players! You play in teams of 6, attached to bars with velcro so you can only move sideways- excellent if you're good on the ball but chronically unfit! Your communication and coordination skills will have to be top notch as you can only move side-to-side in rows, crab style.

You can make substitutions throughout the game, so employ some squad rotation to keep everybody happy.

Included:
- All protective equipment (helmet, gloves and overalls)

Format
Each driver is going to get ten practice laps, before competing in two 20 lap heats.
After these heats, the top 5 timed drivers will go into a nail-biting 5 lap final to determine the overall winner.

Duration
Allow approximately 1.5-2 hours for this event, depending on group size.

Notes
This event can be combined with other activities such as clay shooting, zorbing or tank driving at the same site.

Overview:
Do your stretches, get stuck into a bit of air-boxing and relentlessly trash-talk your adversaries... It's competition time.
Get ready for 3 great activities rolled into one great big challenging race. Sphereing, kayaking and water running are all on the menu and it's gonna get fast, frantic and wet!

The group is split into teams of 2 and each pair will be strapped into a sphere and launched from the top of the sphereing run. You'll roll down the 175 metre purpose built sphere track and then the race is really on. Now it's time to un-strap and run to the lake edge where you'll get in the kayak and paddle across the lake. Once at the edge you'll get into a water walker and race back across the lake, then it's out and a sprint for the finish line.

A real good laugh and test of physical prowess the winners will emerge wet, breathless and over-excited with those all important bragging rights.

Included:
- Use of all equipment, insurance, tea/coffee, biscuits and a group photo.

Duration:
- 1 hour 30 mins upwards.

Notes:
- Bring a change of clothes. You're going to get wet!
