Itinerary:
*Friday:
Once you're all settled in your rooms, it'll be time to get dressed up and hit the town.
Evening meal:
A good meal is essential if you're planning a heavy night on the town. Some of your group may abide by the old adage 'eating's cheating', but come the early hours they'll be slumped in the corner of the nightclub covered in their own sick, while you'll still be partying hard.
Your group will be served a sumptuous meal in a Carlisle bar which will set you up perfectly for the rest of the night.
Once you've had a good feed you can get on with the serious business of drinking in Carlisle's cracking pubs and bars.
VIP Nightclub Entry:
A good nightclub can make or break a stag weekend. Get it right and you'll go down in legend, get it wrong and you'll never live it down. Luckily for you we've sampled all of Carlisle's nightclubs and we know where's hot and where's not.
You may think that getting a large group of half cut blokes into a popular nightclub could be problematic, but your names will be on the guestlist meaning you'll cruise past the masses and straight in through the front doors. With DJs spinning top party tunes until 3am you can drink enough to fill Lake Windermere and dance until your feet bleed.
Included:
Guestlist entry
Bottle of champagne
Dress Code:
Dress to impress. The classic jeans, shirt and shoes combo will be ideal. If you bought your outfit at Soccer World don't expect to get let in.
Notes:
The bouncers reserve the right to refuse entry so be on your best behaviour.
*Saturday:
You may feel a little rough if you've overindulged at the nightclub, but there's nothing that a hot shower and a decent breakfast can't fix, and you've got a cracking day ahead so be up bright and early.
Breakfast:
You'll be served a full English breakfast at your guest house which'll set you up perfectly for the rest of the day.
Survival Skills Adventure Day:
Have you watched Ray Mears survive in the wilderness and think that you could give Mearsy a run for his money? Well, with this Lake District survival skills adventure day, you'll certainly find out whether you've got what it takes to challenge rugged Ray.
You'll head to the Bracken Bank Lodge estate where you'll be given a crash course in survival in the wild under the guidance of a man who's so at one with nature he's built himself a luxury house out of twigs and wears a suit made of grass.
If you ever find yourself stranded in the middle of the forest you'll be thanking your lucky stars you've done this adventure day as you'll be taught a plethora of ultra-useful skills including shelter building, friction fire lighting, edible plant gathering, cookery, nettle rope making, coracle raft building and sailing- basically everything you'd need to survive in a hostile environment.
You'll take part in an orienteering challenge where you'll have to use a mixture of brain and brawn to speed cross-country to find your lunch- a NATO ration pack, just like a real stranded soldier would eat!
Included:
- Instructor
- NATO ration pack lunch
What to wear:
Long trousers, t-shirt/sweatshirt, strong shoes, gloves- nothing you don't want to get dirty!
All You Can Eat Chinese Buffet:
After an intense day of survival training, you're bound to have worked up a big appetite. Well, we certainly hope that's the case as you'll have a table reserved at the biggest and best Chinese restaurant in Carlisle where you can literally eat until you explode at an all you can eat buffet.
There will be a huge range of Chinese dishes on offer as well as curry, roast beef, roast chicken, a salad bar and desserts, so there should be something to suit all tastes.
Notes:
If your group really don't like Chinese, we can arrange for you to go to another restaurant but you must inform us in advance!
VIP Nightclub Entry:
On your last night you want to go big, and there's no better place than Carlisle's hottest superclub. This place is packed to the rafters every weekend with the luscious Lake District ladies and you'll get VIP entry and champagne courtesy of the management.
The club has virtually everything you could possibly want including a New York-style disco, a sports bar with seventeen pool and snooker tables, a cabaret club and a lap dancing area where you can get a private dance from a Cumbrian cracker for only £10. You'll have plenty of time to try our your atrocious chat up lines as the club stays opens until 4am.
Included:
- VIP entry
- Complimentary champagne
Dress code:
Smart casual. If you turn up dressed like a Lonsdale-tracksuited social reject from The Jeremy Kyle Show, don't expect to get in.
Notes:
The bouncers do reserve the right to refuse entry, so at least try to act sober when you turn up at the door.
*Sunday:
Unfortunately the party's over and it's time to return to your 9-5 job and girlfriend/wife, but we'll send you off with a good meal inside you.
Breakfast:
Before you hit the road, tuck into a full English cooked breakfast which will hopefully straighten you out if you're feeling a little tender!
