Not another weekend lazing
around doing not very much at all! To kick off our Carry Me Away summer
campaign, this month we want to inspire you to get carried away on an adventure. From indoor skydiving to swinging through the treetops, we've come up with some
simple, short micro-adventures that will fit into a weekend and won’t break the
bank!
Zip it up
Zip it up
The Pier Zip in Bournemouth flies riders over 80ft above sparkling seas against a backdrop of seven miles of golden sand. Anyone wanting to uncover an outdoor activity that’s daring and a bit different this summer will find it in Bournemouth with the world’s first pier-to-shore zip wire! The Pier Zip even features two lines so that riders can race family and friends down to the beach. Pier Zip is part of an all-weather adventure holidays attraction called RockReef, which features indoor climbing walls and a highline aerial obstacle course.
Be a Hillbilly
If you’re after adrenaline-filled,
high-octane fun then the Henley Hillbillies in the heart of the Dorset
countryside is the place for you. Based on a 180-acre family farm, you can
whizz around the beautiful scenery on quad bikes, off-road minis and even
hovercrafts. If fast-paced off-roading is not your thing then try your eye with
archery, crossbows, air rifles and clay-pigeon shooting.
Ice and a Slice
If you work in London within ten minutes
of leaving your desk, you can be assailing an eight-metre wall of ice. The
Ellis Brigham Vertical Chill ice wall in Covent Garden is basically a massive
freezer where a fan blows icy air down your neck to complete that mountainside
feeling. Don’t think you have to be an adventure sport keen-o to enjoy the
experience; the hour long one-to-one session is enough time to learn all the
skills. It's physically demanding but when you reach the summit and ring the
cowbell it will leave you with a grin that will last all afternoon. The
Manchester store has just opened one too.
Monkey Magic
Enjoy one of the UK’s most thrilling outdoor activities at the original Go Ape! in Thetford Forest. Explore the forest from high up on a Tree Top Adventure – swing through the trees, zoom down zip wires and brave an obstacle course set metres up in the sky, all whilst enjoying the amazing views of one of Suffolk’s amazing natural environments.
To get away from city life, stay in a yurt at Graig Wen in north Wales, situated in Snowdonia's national park. Borrow bikes from the site, cycle the length of the estuary and watch fish swimming, birds flying and beautiful reflections in the water. From there, cycle across Barmouth bridge and tuck into fish and chips on the sandy beach below. And if you’re still up for more adventure after a night under the stars, the nearby Cadair Idris mountain is a great climb.
