Birthdays, get togethers or stag dos, it’s always the same problem, what are we going to do? Don’t stress; there are some epic ideas here to please even the most picky of your mates.
Archery
If your fancy yourself as a bit of a Robin Hood, why not give archery a go? You can go for a more traditional style with a simple bow like this. Or if you and your mates are all about the extreme why not find a place that offers sports bows. These bows are bigger, and the arrows go further, just watch out for your aim!
Shooting
Clay pigeon shooting is great because it give you a taste of the English aristocratic life, and it still has that competitive element. You can choose between real shot to fire at the clay skeets or laser targeted ones. Whichever one you go for, don’t forget to round the day off with a nice whiskey in front of the fire for a real lord of the manor experience.
Driving Days
There are quite a few driving days to choose from. Perfect if your mates are petrol heads. Formula one cars and high-performance cars like Ferrari and Porsche, offer a speedy and exciting experience. If you are looking for something a bit more unusual, consider a driving day with WW2 Tanks. Run the monsters around tough terrain, and live out your fantasy of being a soldier for the day.
Birds of prey
Another interesting adventure option is a bird of prey day. There are different parts of the day, including a talk and tour of the facilities in which the birds live. You also get the chance to get up close and personal with the birds themselves. What a great option for anyone interested in ornithology or history.
White Water Rafting
Thrills and spills and a chance to dunk the your mates, what more could you ask? There are plenty of white water rafting opportunities available. Check the safety certificates before you book and make sure wetsuits, helmets and lifejackets are supplied.
Meat Curing Days
For the foodies in your group, why not suggest a meat curing day? Learn to prepare, smoke and cure meat and make sausages. The best thing about the day? You go home with news skills and you get to eat the spoils. Marvellous!
Chocolatier
The other edible option for your lads trip is a chocolatier day. Learning about all the surprisingly complex ways to make good chocolates. Decide which to flavours to include and match to the different chocolate types. Don’t forget that you have the bonus of taking home chocolates to the wife/girlfriend, which is bound to earn you some brownie points.
Go Karting
Traditional yes, boring? Nope! Go karting can be hilarious and really bring a group together. You can choose from indoor and outdoor tracks, and it’s likely that there is going to be somewhere close to home if you don’t want to travel far.
