Tandem Skydiving - Parachute Jump for Two

Tandem Skydiving - Parachute Jump for Two





Throwing yourself out of a plane at 10,000 feet might be considered utter madness. But if close friends start wondering aloud about your sanity (or the contents of your will), you can reassure them that you'll be attached (literally) to an expert instructor and that, frankly, you're in for an experience so exhilarating that you'll probably never stop talking about it. It begins with around an hour of instruction on skydiving and landing techniques, before you go up in the plane. You'll be securely harnessed to your instructor, who will help you jump from the plane (or at least help you fall with style). You'll get about 30 seconds of freefall, which is so completely incredible there's no point in us trying to describe it. Then your instructor will open the parachute and control your descent while you admire the view and try to come to terms with the adrenaline rush. Mind blowing.

Medieval Jousting ExperienceMedieval Jousting Experience

Life during medieval times might have been grubby, brutal and plague-ridden, but give them their due - they knew how to have fun. And so will you as you make like a knight during this day of old-fashioned antics. You'll start off with a riding assessment, an overview of the equipment and an introduction to the history of jousting. Then you'll take part in various activities on and off your horse, all originally rooted in learning the art of war, including neck reining and learning how to use a flag, lance and shield. Then practise with your lance on the formidable quintaine, a spinning target. After lunch you'll learn a choreographed fight sequence, including broad sword or quarterstaff fighting, before dressing in medieval costume (oh yes, you're going the whole medieval hog here) and putting all you've learnt into action during a tournament. The day will end with the presentation of certificates, and then you can ride off to find a few dragons to slay.

Canyoning for EightCanyoning for Eight

Rediscover your sense of adventure - and what it's like to be soaked to the skin! Canyoning is a truly all-round adventure experience, following a natural water course through a precipitous canyon. To start off with you'll have a safety briefing with your instructor and get kitted out with the right equipment. Then after a short walk to the top of the beautiful Allt' a Bhealaich Gorge, you'll follow the natural water course down through the gorge, descending waterfalls, sliding down natural water flumes, scrambling down gorges and jumping into deep, clear rock pools. In some sections you'll use harnesses and ropes to get down, all safely controlled by your instructor. This is a challenging, exciting and very physical experience and you might get a few bumps along the way, but there's a path running along the length of the canyon, so no part of the descent is compulsory - you can always take the path instead.

Mountain Climbing on Ben Nevis or Glencoe for FourMountain Climbing on Ben Nevis or Glencoe for Four

Got a head for heights, nerves of steel and a love of the great outdoors? Don't mind chilly Scottish weather or the occasional midge bite? Then head to the Highlands for a day's climbing with the whole family on one of the world's classic mountaineering routes. With the services of a private guide, you'll tackle a route up either Ben Nevis or Glencoe. It will be challenging, exhausting and occasionally nerve-racking - but also uplifting, inspiring and breathtakingly beautiful. You'll be supplied with all technical equipment, and your guide will place all ropes and protection, leaving you to get on with enjoying your spectacular surroundings in complete safety. The day will combine walking, hiking and climbing as you go high into the mountain, and ends with a thorough debrief at the National Ice Climbing Centre. You'll receive a CD with photos of your day and a mug of hot chocolate each, before rewarding your aching limbs with a sauna and steam.
