Overview:
Under the guidance of experienced instructors, participants will learn the skill of shooting clays which is definitely not as easy as it looks!

Format:
Groups will meet for a full briefing and safety talk from a qualified instructor before heading out on the shoot. After some practice shots everyone will be split up into teams and the competition will commence with the instructor’s mission being to have everyone hitting the clays accurately in as short a time as possible. Everyone will have the chance to shoot 30 clays at a number of stands. The stands will fire the clays from a multitude of positions to test your shooting skills, each mimicking the flight of different birds (for example: duck, pigeon or woodcock). Everyone’s efforts will be scored and the best shooter will be awarded a bottle of bubbly at the end of the session.

Duration:
Approximately 1-1.5 hours, depending on the group size.

Notes:
- Minimum group size of 5; no maximum.
- 30 clays included.
- Everyone will be awarded a certificate at the end of the session to take home.
- Tea/ coffee/ biscuits/ group photo

Overview:
Paintball is a stag weekend favourite that never fails to provide top value entertainment for all the crew. All of our sites have numerous unique game zones that allow you the chance to recreate scenes from your favourite war movies and inflict some pain and humiliation on your mates in the process.

You can choose to do either a half day or a full day session, however we find that a half day starting after lunch is ideal for most stag parties as it allows for precious hangover recovery time! On arrival at the site you'll be kitted out in protective overalls and facemasks and issued with a top-notch, gas powered gun. After a quick safety and rules briefing you'll head into the combat zones for some paint-splattered action.

The Games:
You'll play a variety of team games ranging from 'capture the flag' and 'hostage rescue' to 'storm the fort'. You can expect to encounter anything from tanks and helicopters, bridges, forts and even a Tora Bora-style cave network. Whether you want to hide and pick off your targets like an SAS sniper or run around like a gun-crazed Rambo you'll get plenty of oppotunity to flex your trigger finger and dish out some serious gunishment!

Included:
- All safety equipment
- 100 paintballs

Notes:
- Food can be bought from the on site canteen.
- Additional paintballs approx £7 per 100.

Times:
Games run either for a full day or morning / afternoon sessions

Where are we?
Get into the team spirit and race against the clock using your map-reading skills to navigate you to various checkpoints dotted around the beautiful country scenery. Bragging rights go to the quickest and most efficient team while the losers scratch their heads and argue about who lost the map in the middle of nowhere.

Duration:
- Full day (includes 2 x 3 hour activity sessions and a packed lunch)

Paddles to the ready!
These two man canoes are completely open topped similar to the ones used by Indians or Canadian Trappers. You and a partner will need to get coordinated in order to steer and paddle effectively.  During the day you will play lots of games and learn a number of different paddle strokes used in the sport of canoeing. If your compadre fancies himself as a bit of a joker, you'll be at his mercy as a few well timed rocks could send you tumbling into the wet.


Duration:
- Full day (includes 2 x 3 hour activity sessions and a packed lunch)

Overview:
What goes up must come down! Scale a challenging rock face before abseiling back down to terra firma. The difficulty of your climb and the height of your abseil are entirely up to you, making this is as much a mental challenge as a physical one!

The experienced instructors will be on hand to guide you through the finer points of climbing before starting you off on a relatively simple climb up the ice sculpted limestone scarp of Eglwyseg. Once you've found your feet, you can push on to more tricky climbs if you feel ready. Once you've scaled the heights there's only one way down: abseil. 

The abseils range from 6ft to 90ft. Our advice: full of bravado, demand that you do the 90ft drop and that the stag goes first. When the terror stricken stag is half way down, have a group change of heart and switch to less frightening height. Recounting exactly how petrified the stag looked staring over the precipice always makes for a top story in a best man's speech.

Included:
- All equipment
- Qualified instructors

Please arrive 30 minutes prior to the event to allow time to fill out required forms.

Overview:
It's you vs the water in this canoeing & kayaking session. Whether you're experienced on the water or a complete novice, the session will be tailored to meet your requirements.

You can have a serious lesson where you can learn skills such as capsize drill, turning strokes, surf stops and rapid paddling, but if you'd rather just mess about on the river, drown the stag and play kayak football you can do that too.

Unlike other venues which are dependant on dam releases to produce challenging water conditions, this exclusive area of the River Dee has been modified to provide play waves and stoppers as well as mini rapids, so there's guaranteed white water all year round.

Equipment:
You will need swimwear to go under your wetsuit, old footwear that's going to get wet, and a towel.
