Prepare to be sliding all over the place as you get behind the wheel of a powerful Gemini Liberator buggy.

Next it's time for an endurance event where participants will be split into teams and expected to operate as a fully functional pit team as they negotiate pit stops and driver changeovers.

Overview:

Treat your group to a fantastic, action packed day of activities that they will remember long after the wedding is over. Mix and matching your activities means everyone has the chance of glory, including you and the stag!

So, you’ll not only have a much greater chance of becoming a champion but it will also keep you out of the pub that little bit longer, meaning the lightweights of the group are still on board for the evening’s festivities.

Format:
Clench your fists, grit your teeth, it's competition time. You'll be roaring round this exhilarating British Championship circuit which is one of the largest in the UK, then test your wits on the fast-paced speedball field.

The Circuit:
This snaking 1200m monster is challenging, wet or dry. It demands respect through the turning sections if you are to keep you lap times low, but the best drivers hit back with productive use of the throttle when laying down the power coming into the straights. Be careful though: uncontrolled 360s into the tyre barriers are embarrassing and destroy your chances of spraying bubbly at the end of the day. 

The Karts:
The boys in the pits have just taken delivery of a brand new fleet of 390 cc Eglem Thunderkarts, one of the most advanced general usage kart available. It is one of the few circuits in the UK running these awesome 70mph animals as standard and they are kept in top condition to ensure even racing.

The Racing – Grand Prix:
After a quick video and safety briefing, each driver will go out onto the circuit for a practice session. During this time the computer will monitor lap times which will determine the start position for the main race. After a short break you're back out on to the circuit for a 30 minute non-stop grand prix. Concentration and consistency are the key to victory and the chequered flag falls just as your shoulders begin to ache. Once your heart rate has settled down, the race results are announced. The winner receives a well deserved trophy and there will also be a special prize for the fastest lap during the race.

Kart Notes:
- Duration is 1.5 hours including briefings and practice
- Driving time: 15 minutes timed practice, to determine grid positions, then a 30 min head to head race.
- Groups of more than 20 will do an endurance race

Speedball:
Speedball is the latest thing in paintball - it's a fast and furious game of tactical prowess and strategic play. Played on the UK’s largest purpose built arena, it is far cleaner and safer than traditional paintball with an even rubber surface underfoot. It is the most popular form of paintball in the USA now available here in the UK. There's colour coded equipment for easy recognition of team members and the opposition plus you'll be using the very latest Tippman guns which are both reliable and very accurate. There are various timber structures and giant inflatable’s to provide cover as you relentlessly unleash your paint-filled-pellets-of-pain on the enemy.

Speedball Duration:
- 2 hours

Included:
- Two full sessions for the day.
- Please note no paintballs are included - Balls are approximately £7 per 100 or £20 for 300

Duration:
 - Allow approx 4 hours for your day.

Notes:
- Please wear comfortable clothing you don't mind getting dirty.
- Paintballs are available to pre-purchase! Please ask for the best deals.

Combine any of the activities on offer, all at the one site.

This venue has all of the spectacular natural features to make it one of the best places in the UK to experience an off-road adventure. With over 500 acres of hills, bogs, woodland and water, any event held here will be sure to blow out the cobwebs and get the adrenalin rushing.

Format:
Choose from any two of the following:

Off Road Buggies
Prepare to be sliding all over the place as you get behind the wheel of a powerful Gemini Liberator buggy. The 400cc, 30hp machines are hugely fun to drive and you'll be guaranteed to be going sideways as you bolt around a brilliant grass track full of tight chicanes. Up to 2 buggies will be out on the track at once and the session begins with a few practice laps around the track. Next it's time for an endurance event where participants will be split into teams and expected to operate as a fully functional pit team as they negotiate pit stops and driver changeovers. The session will end with some timed individual races to determine who is the fastest on 4 wheels.

Extreme Quad Biking
Take on the challenge of deep mud, water pools and slippery descents on a brilliant Yamaha fully automatic quad bike. You will be accompanied by qualified instructors who will explain the bike's controls and allow you to have a practice ride before you embark on a trek up into the fells. There is no set track as this is true off-road quad bike trekking; the course will be made up as you go along to match the group's ability. All safety equipment is provided including overalls, helmets and gloves. Be warned though: you will not just be riding around on a flat field and are guaranteed to get a bit muddy, so don't bring your high heels! Each event session lasts a full hour of driving time per person.


Clay Shooting:
Pull, lead, squeeze, destroy, eject. Some people can and some people just can't. If you manage to get the hang of this fast paced action sport you can really put one over on the boys. 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 to get the hang of things as you learn to track the bird and how to time your shots.

Professional instruction is provided in a 25 clay session with the instructor's aim to have even the most novice marksman hitting at least every second target by the end of the day. Different traps allow the target ‘birds' to be released in various flight patterns - across you, along the ground, away and up or straight down the barrel. You'll be using a 12" bore pump action shotgun just to spice things up a bit.
Included:
- 30 clays per person
- Expert tuition and use of all equipment

Air Rifles
To make sure your group is keeping their eyes on the prize, Air Rifle Shooting will be on offer to test your sharp shooting skills (or lack thereof). The shooting range has a series of targets and participants will be scored on their efforts. Up to 4 shooters can get out on the range at any one time.

Archery:
This event is simple really. Grab the most annoying member of the group, stand them up against a tree, bang an apple on their head, back-up 15 paces and let rip at the apple.

Well, you could probably do it, but just not whilst the instructor is looking. Archery is a game of points. The centre of the target being the highest and the outsides worth less. Missing everything all together wins you a cheer from your friends and nothing else....

4x4 Off Roading - (can only be done with clay shooting)
Using one of the beefy Land Rover Defenders, learn to drive off road on one of the biggest sites in the UK. 500 acres of extreme hills, rocks, water runs and bogs await drivers who are after some extreme adventure. Your qualified instructor will teach you how to handle some of the hardest off road terrain available and if you get stuck you may be taught some special winching techniques. Three other passengers can accompany the driver during the session.

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
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.
 
So suit up, strap in, grab the wheel and unleash the speed demon inside!

Well, now's your chance to choose what you want to in true pic'n'mix fashion! You've got the choice of any two of these fine activities to fill out your day with anything from some blind driving to a relaxed fishing experience in Sharpley springs four fishing lakes.

Clay Pigeon Shooting
Whatever the experience of you and your mates, these instructors can accommodate them with a range of targets that boost confidence or challenge the professional. The instructors were recommended to us by Northumbria Police and have many years experience in both competition shooting and in teaching. There are several settings participants can shoot in, ranging from a secluded farm to a dramatic hill top location with views over the region. This choice allows us to provide excellent shooting in a variety of conditions. We can supply a range of firearms including low recoil guns for the timid, semi autos for the Rambo wannabes and the more traditional over and under for the true country gent.

Off Road Driving
The capability of today’s four wheel drive vehicles is immense. None more so than the legendary Land Rover range. Driving challenges are provided from our experienced and qualified hosts and can be tailored to the customer’s abilities / requirements. When these top-end instructors aren’t hosting beginners they can usually be found at international off road events, demonstrating and testing 4X4s or teaching the fleet drivers of some of the country’s biggest companies. You and your buddies can look forward to steep climbs, severe drops and plenty of mud and water to go splashing through. Who needs roads when you've got a bloody massive Land Rover?

Quad Biking
In the states they are known as All Terrain Vehicles which is an apt name as these things will go just about everywhere, through everything and over anything. These sessions have an emphasis on off-roading skills as this is where these machines really excel. You'll use machines from two of the most respected names in the business; Yamaha and Polaris. The instructors are experts in their field and will provide an enjoyable experience for people of all abilities.

Blind Driving
Next to shooting and Quadding this activity is often overlooked, but ask anyone that has taken part and they are sure to tell you how much fun it is! If you have a pal who's a bit on the wide side, this activity is great as it requires next to no physical fitness and can involve the entire group at once. With the driver blindfolded, it’s up to the rest of the team to direct him or her through a course set out by the instructor. Throw in some obstacles, blindfolded swap-overs or blindfolded jousting and its sure to be an activity to remember.

Archery
Fancy yourself as the next Robin Hood? Try your hand at classic archery - An ancient skill transformed by modern equipment. Participants are given basic instruction to enable them to safely enjoy the thrill of hitting the target time and time again, hopefully improving as their session progresses. Sessions can cater for both beginners and more experienced archers. Just like Clay Pigeon shooting, Archery can take place at various locations throughout the Sharpley Leisure site and is a perfect add on to one of these other activities.

Sharpley Springs Fishing Lakes
Catch a whopper! The four fishing lakes that make up Sharpley Waters are set in a quiet rural setting allowing its anglers to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The lakes at Sharpley Springs are stocked with rainbow and brown trout from 1.5lb to 12lb and have a reputation nationwide for the quality of fishing, voted top Junior Trout Masters UK venue. The fisherman’s Lodge is centrally heated with hot drinks available for colder days. While this activity may be too sedate for some, it may be perfect for those who went a little heavy the night before. Just remember a camera, so you're not that old git in a bar in twenty years telling everyone about how that fish was 'THIS BIG!'

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.

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

Format
Our experienced instructors provide individual tuition and you will get the chance to shoot 12 and 20 bore shotguns. There is no pain when using the proper equipment: special guns and cartridges to suit all statures will be on offer. The instructors take pride in introducing novices to this exciting sport, with the aim of making you a top marksman by the end of the session (well, be able to hit something at least!). A scoring system is incorporated into the event to build up the element of competition and provoke some post-match banter.

Included
25 clays per person

Duration
Allow around 2 hours for this event
