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.
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.
Quad Endurance Racing
If you don't think the quad bike trek is the thing to rock your boat, then try a bit of competitive racing. The coned track is set in a large 5 acre field and features water splashes, mud and rolling ridge and furrow straights. Depending upon your group size, between 2 and 4 quads will be on the track at any one time, with each team in charge of their own pit stop changeovers. The declared winner will be the team completing the most laps during the race.
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.
Included:
- Two Activity sessions of your choice
Duration:
Allow approximately 1¼ hours for each driving event session. Shooting event may last longer depending on group size. Allow about 4 hours in total.
Notes:
Minimum 10 people for clay pigeon shooting & archery
