Great Ideas For An Active Fun Weekend




 

Everybody loves downtime and play time. What could be better than getting together with everyone and hanging out? Sometimes it would be a good idea to involve some planned activities. Why not line up some games or sports? Here are a list of suggestions that should be straightforward to organise. It will give everyone a chance to play, unwind and just hang out together doing some fun stuff.

Paint balling

The popularity of paintballing shows no sign of waning.What could be better than getting a bunch of friends and associates together and blasting each other? Not for the fainthearted or the fastidiously clean. Paintballing is the legal way to exorcise your inner target marksman.

Quad Biking or Off Roading

A great way of getting in and out of mud while still playing with machines and engines. Still quite alpha male as these things go. It shouldn’t be too hard to find a centre near you. Safety gear not optional.

Hiking

This one might take a bit of planning. You will need to organise a decent destination. Any of the National Parks should do fine. Make sure that everyone has got the correct gear and that you have a safety plan in place. ‘Deliverance’ it shouldn’t be, but you never know! Know your route and if you are camping out, make sure you have the right gear. That means tents, sleeping bags and food. For a slightly softer mattress option, why not plan your hike to end up at an accommodating hotel or B and B?

Home tournaments

Why not make home the perfect base for a weekend of tournament activity? You could hire in professional equipment. Table Tennis Hire can drop all the gear you need to need to provide a few days of real head to head engagement. Even the most placid member of your party will end up losing Mr Nice Guy. You could supplement with all manner of other competitions such as darts or even pool. Five a side waits in the garden if you have enough numbers and then you could fire up the BBQ.

Hit the beach

No reason you couldn’t hire a house or cottage down on the coast for a few days.Get a few friends together and why not set up a surfing school for the weekend? Combine that with any number of water-based activities such as kayaking or kitesurfing. These aren’t too weather dependent so all you are going to need is a wetsuit each and a lot of energy. But then what better way to earn a few drinks later?

 

Mountain biking

This is always more fun when there are a bunch of people together. But why stick to same old routes around town? Hitch up a trailer and you’ll be able to transport any number of bikes to great purpose built mountain bike trails. Get out there and see what you are made of. Make sure you pace yourselves and allow enough time for your muscles to rest and recover. It can be tempting to overdo it.

Fun Park Day

They are not just for children, or maybe you can simple honour the child inside. Any of the top parks should have enough challenges and amusements to recreate those magic fun park days. Ride the dodgems, hit the Helter Skelter and the Corkscrew. Make mini golf the most competitive thing you do today. Most of all have a lot of fun.
