3G swing

Would you like to be hauled around 10 metres into the air by your friends? Two people sit in the seat and get slowly raised. When they agree, they pull the ripcord and swing towards the ground at high speed – entirely safely!

Zorbing Fancy bouncing around at 30 mph inside a gigantic, bouncy transparent PVC ball, surrounded by a thick cushion of air? The inner and out balls are held together by hundreds of nylon threads and then you are pushed down a hill, across a stretch of water or over the snow.

Zorbing can also be done with water inside the ball, turning the experience into a wet and slippery one, allowing you to slide around the inside of the Zorb.

Grass sledging

Once a winter sport, sledging has been given the all-year round treatment with the start of grass sledging. Keep your arms and legs in the sled as you zoom down a hill.

Crate stacking

Not only do you have to work together, but you need to think together too, in order to build the tallest tower out of crates. This is the perfect activity for team-building and is highly addictive.

Aeroball

Combining volleyball, basketball and trampolining, this activity is guaranteed to leave your heart pounding as you compete for points against your opponents.

Land yachting

Land yachting is an environmentally friendly activity which, whilst being highly enjoyable produces no noise, pollution or damage to its surroundings. A land yacht is a wind propelled craft which operates on land, reaching speeds of about 50 mph. It looks like a long, thin, three-wheeled buggy with enough room for one person to sit inside and a sail attached to make it move.

Land yachting normally takes places on large open areas of land where there is a minimum number of obstructions and as far away from other site users as possible. Beaches, some parks and some airfields are ideal. There are specialist clubs based across the UK, all of these provide training and taster days.

Coasteering

This activity will take you scrambling over rocks, jumping from cliffs, swimming in the sea, and getting washed by waves. You'll be scared and excited all at once and if all this doesn't push your adrenalin levels it will simply unwind you.

Bungee running

Running as fast as you can towards a target is challenging enough, but it's made all the more fun when you are attached to a secured bungee cord. Are you strong enough to make it, or will you spring back to the start?

Sculling

Sculling, an activity that can be done by people of most ages, involves travelling in a specialised sculling boat powered through the use of oars. It can be done as an individual or with up to 8 people in a boat, promoting team work, cooperation and coordination.

With hundreds of rowing clubs across the country that offer sculling there are plenty of places to go and have a go at this activity.

Multi-pitch climbing

Ascending a rock feature, which can be natural or man-made, can be exhilarating enough, but imagine trying a route that cannot be completed on one rope length. If you like the sound of this, then multi-pitch climbing is for you!
