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....

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.
