 Extended Indoor Skydiving for Two
Wind tunnels have been used for years to test the aerodynamics of cars. Then some bright spark came up with the idea of flipping one upright and jumping into the airflow - and body flying was born. The wind tunnel is a 120mph wall of air, easily strong enough to support your weight, so that you can experience freefall without the need to jump out of a plane. You'll start off with a safety briefing from your instructor before being kitted out with your specialist flight suit. Then step into the wind tunnel with your instructor, where you'll be lifted into the air for an incredible 10 minute body flying session. As a comparison, during a skydive from 10,000 feet, you would experience around 30 seconds of freefall. If you're lucky, your instructor will jump on the flow and show you some astonishing freefall acrobatics. Your flying session will end with a debrief, and you'll both get an e-photo of your experience, plus a DVD of your flight to take home.

Explore the exquisite beauty of the Arctic on a three day adventure trip, 100 miles north of the Arctic Circle. You'll start by meeting your guide for a welcome drink, before heading to Musher's lodge. There you'll be kitted out in Arctic clothes and meet your team of dogs, before a short tour of the area and dinner under the Northern Lights. Then snuggle down for the night, because in the morning you'll be dogsledding across the frozen wilderness, stopping off for lunch at a lodge next to a frozen lake. Your destination is the astonishing Ice Hotel: a chic hotel built from the ice each year, which melts away every spring. Relax in the Ice Bar, go for a sauna and then curl up in your thermal sleeping bags for a night in a bedroom made completely of ice. The experience also includes a fabulous snowmobile tour - part of everyday life up here in the Arctic but fantastic fun nonetheless! Accommodation, equipment and some meals are included. Flights to and from Kiruna are not included.
More Information... |  Spy Games for Four
Experience the glamorous world of international espionage by indulging the fantasy with this great day playing at secret agents. After a full briefing you and the other spies learn some of the skills employed by secret agents all over the world. Heading to the firing ranges, you'll learn how to shoot automatic pistols and sniper rifles. Then move onto axe throwing (for goodness' sake don't try this at home), unarmed combat and covert surveillance, using cameras and bugs. Then try evasive driving - including J turns, handbrake turns and anti-ambush drills. Finish off at the 'drive in' pistol range, firing at targets from a moving vehicle, before screeching to a halt, jumping out of the car for more shooting and then speeding off again. Throughout the day you'll be supervised by instructors who have first-hand experience of carrying out surveillance operations.
More Information... |  Full Monty Tank Driving
You've got to hand it the army - they've definitely got the best wheels. You can't beat a day driving around in military vehicles and shooting at stuff. All the fun of being a soldier with none of the risks. You'll be kitted out in a camouflage suit and helmet and given a full safety briefing. During the course of the day you'll drive a Russian Grozdilka tank, a fully amphibious Hagglund tracked carrier, an FV 432 armoured personnel carrier and a Rapier rocket carrier. You'll get a ride in a Lance missile carrier, spend an hour in the armoury and there are other military-themed activities too - learn how to fire a range of classic weapons like mortars and muskets (mind your eyebrows!), go on an SAS woodland patrol and try clay-pigeon shooting. At the end of the day, the best driver will get to crush a car with a 56 ton Chieftain tank! Lunch is included, and you even get to keep your camo suit. So leave the tv behind and come and get in touch with your rough and ready side!
