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? Yes? We thought so! What better way to satisfy the urge than blasting a clay pigeon to smithereens, catching a victorious waft of the smoking barrels and reloading to unleash more destruction on yet another unsuspecting ceramic projectile.

Experienced instructors will demonstrate to your group how to use a shotgun safely annd accurately. The clay pigeon traps are positioned to accomodate all levels of experience and simulate a variety of specific games.

This is a great oppurtunity to enjoy the German country air and smoke a few clays, by the end of the session hopefully you should be nailing the clays more often than not...you'll have a blast!

Notes:
- 30 clays included

Duration:
- Approximately 2-3 hours depending on group size

Overview:
We reckon it's about time these powerful machines spat out the Tesco's shopping and got put to the test in their intended environment. This is your chance to grab the wheel and put a 4x4 through its paces. Crossing rivers, climbing rocky hills and struggling through muddy ravines over a 2½ mile course, you'll realise just how much these powerful vehicles can handle.

Format:
We'll throw groups of 3 in each Land Rover and let an experienced and slightly deranged adrenaline junkie of a driver demonstrate why safety belts were invented. Once you've loosened the grip on on your mates thigh and wiped away your tears you might just enjoy yourselves! 

Duration:
- 30 mins

Overview:
A meadowland site on the edge of a wood in south Essex represents an ideal opportunity to have a crack at this country set pursuit, all in easy reach of the bars and clubs of downtown London. A train ride from Liverpool St takes 35 mins and the station is only a £5 cab ride from the grounds. 

Guns Blazing:
Novices and old hands alike are well catered for with qualified instructors at the ready to take you through the basics and then to further hone your marksmanship. You will start on a couple of simple ‘straight up’ practice  targets (20) to get the hang of things as you learn to track the bird and how to time your shots. Later in the session you will move on to shooting 2 targets at the same time which will serve to sort out the cowboys from the Indians.

The tensions will build as the competition begins and the key to success is your ability to keep cool on the pressure shots.  All's fair in love and war so bear in mind that a well timed sledge directed at your mate just after he has missed a clutch target might just be enough to crack him.  Things like, “Err, it's black and it's round’” or “Come on, leave some sky for the rest of us to shoot at”, are proven game breakers.  Prizes for the best and worst, will be awarded at the end of the day.

Included:
Shotgun hire – various sizes and recoil ratings
50 targets and cartridges
All safety equipment

Duration:
2.5 hours for a group of 10

Notes:
No food, drink or toilets (trees aside) are available on site but there are several country style pubs close at hand.

Groups are welcome to take along their own packed lunch & drinks (no alcohol) on the day.

Rally Karting Grand Prix:
This recently opened off road circuit offers an exhilarating and fast paced rally kart grand prix that is guaranteed to impress.

The vehicles are the latest 400cc Honda engine Liberator rally karts, complete with zero-roll suspension, all-terrain tyres and a Corbeau racing seat with four strap safety harness. These karts are easy to drive so no previous experience is necessary although, as you will see, a good driver can really make them fly.

With 4 karts on the track at any one time you will compete in a timed grand prix style event to determine the driver of the day.

Format:
- Briefing
- 2 lap practice
- 3 x 4 lap heats
- 8 lap final for the 4 highest scoring persons with the winner receiving a trophy

Duration:
Allow approximately 1.5 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:

If you’re looking for an activity to make the weekend memorable, or something to bring together a group of guys 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.

Included:
- Cocktail ambassadors
- Welcome flavoured vodka shot
- History of the cocktail
- Bar tools and skills
- Balancing taste

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.

The site also boasts one of the few Helice target rings in the UK. The site has been superbly designed for all standards from complete beginner through to Olympic standard.

Clay Pigeon Shooting:
You will be coached throughout the session by an expert tutor who will advise you in all aspects of the sport and hopefully turn you into a ‘pro' by the end of the event (well make sure you can at least hit the clay anyway!). A sporting layout will be designed for your group where you will shout a range of different types of trap. Each type of trap throws the clay in a different direction, speed and angle, to simulate different ‘game', from bounding rabbits, through to diving duck and driven pheasant.

Need for speed:
Clench your fists, grit your teeth, it's competition time. This awesome karting centre boasts the latest 750m Tarmac circuit which at 10m wide has plenty of room for overtaking. You and your mates will go head to head aboard the new 2007 fleet of 200cc BIZ GX karts as you hurtle headlong toward the finishing line. Undoubtably one of the very best karting tracks in the UK with an average lap time of 42 seconds. Exhilarating, rubber-burning, racing fun.

Duration:
- Approx 1 hour

Format:
- 30 laps (50 and 75 available - just ask!)
- Sprint races to include 4 qualifying laps, trophies awarded to 1st, 2nd & 3rd places

Notes:

Overview:
Virtual warfare is paintball for the 'Star Wars' generation. Paint pellets and mud is a bit last century, so why not load your laser gun and blast your mates back in time with a lethal beam of light.

Forget the rubbishy quasar laser games that you've played in a disused warehouse off your local high street, this is real high-tech combat which takes inspiration from computer games like Call of Duty and Medal of Honour.

The Equipment:
You'll be armed with a laser gun, combat suit, specialist headgear, knee pads and team armbands. The guns have a range of over 150m which means that concealment and camouflage is crucial. When you lose your last 'hit point' (life) your gun is immobilised and you have to return to base and recharge. Unlike paintball which is often ruined as a competition because of cheats refusing to returning to base once they've been hit, there's no hiding place.

Included:
- Briefing from marshalls
- All equipment

Duration:
- Allow 3-4 hours for this event

Notes:
- Casual clothing and sports trainers

If you've ever thought you'd be a top class soldier but didn't fancy long spells away from home and the chance that some nutcase might blow your head clean off, then paintball will give you the chance to experience the cut and thrust of battle without getting hurt... much.

After getting decked out in all of the gear you'll be given a full safety briefing by the marshalls and head out to battle. You'll play a series of games in the purpose built woodland game zones which include the Village, Trench & Bunker, Tower Field, Tyre Fort, Ammo Dump and Jungle. Whether you want to charge around blasting the life out of your mates or hide and pick them off one by one, you'll have plenty of opportunity to wrack up some 'kills'.
