Nottingham has quickly become one of the favourite destinations hens and stags. Whether this is due to the relaxed drinking laws, or rumours of females vastly outnumbering males, one thing is ensured, your stag’s or hen’s weekend will be a raging success.
Spend the daytime indulging in adrenaline pumping activities, or getting pampered as you prepare for a night of fine pubs, clubs and restaurants.
After an initial driver briefing, you will be given a few test laps on an open circuit to get a feel for how the bikes handle.
After the successful completion of the practice laps, riders will head out into the woods to begin their trek.
There are 6 different riding zones that you will encounter:
Zone 1 is a flat, open track in woodland;
Zone 2 is an angled area where you will get the bike riding on 38 degree angles;
Zone 3 will focus on climbing and descending;
Zone 4 will encompass water and mud;
Zone 5 will be an accumulation of Zones 1-4;
Zone 6 will be a cross-country trek around the perimeter of the 150 acre site.

Paintball
The Site:
Located on150 acres of undulating woodlands, this top quality paintball site has over 10 different game zones. That built up frustration of days in the office can be let free here.
Format:
Groups will begin their session by getting kitted-up in full camouflage gear and given a full site safety briefing. After the formalities are out of the way, it’s off into the danger zone to begin your ruthless rampage.
The playing zones on offer are truly outstanding and comprise of villages, bridges, castles, bunkers and a Wild West zone that features a church, saloon and undertakers! A selection of different games will be played throughout the session – approximately 8-10 games for a full day and 5-6 for a half day.
Some of the sessions include:
Bridge over the River Kwai:
You have a multitude of options open to you on this one. Do you go over the high bridge or the low bridge? Through the pillbox or the spider tunnels? Only your cunning will see you through safely!
Storm the Fort:
All you have to do is collect the pieces of a 32-foot square jigsaw puzzle. The problem? The parts are scattered around the outside walls of a 3-storey castle manned by your opponents! Assemble the puzzle in the quickest time and walk off the field as victor!
Close Quarter Combat Battlefield:
Ever been to a paintball site where there was nowhere to hide? That certainly won’t be a problem here: there are so many places for people to hide that it can take a what seems like a lifetime to weed out the opposition! Participants will defend their own bunker and attempt to catch the opposition’s flag before they have their own flag taken!
The Maze:
A tricky 4 acre maze where you can see the opposition but can’t actually get to them! As a team you have to find your way in, capture the flag and find your way back out unharmed. Bale Mania: 150 two ton bales block your path. There are 32 tags, 1 one each stack of bales. All you have to do is gain position of each bale stack, plant your team tag to claim position and then hold out until the final whistle blows!
Bunker Hill:
Throw yourself into some authentic warfare action as you make your way over the 2000 sand bags that form this low level playing zone. Your heart will be pounding as you wait for the command to go over the top and face your enemy – can you handle the pressure?
Jungle Village Assault:
Put yourself in the thick of the action as you find yourself in a village with 30-plus buildings and a four room main hall in the centre. All you have to do is find the movement sensitive ammo box and take it to the enemy’s base... but don't forget, if you trigger the mercury switch, the siren will sound and you are on your way to spectate from the elimination zone!
Duration:
Full day: 6 hours (9.30am – 4pm).
Half day: 4 hours (sessions commence at either 9.30am or 11.30am).

Outdoor Karting
The Track:
This superb venue provides a 550 metre track demanding enough to test all drivers yet still offering plenty of overtaking opportunities. The tarmac is 6.5m wide at all points with 3m grass runoffs on both sides and incorporates eight bends, three of which are taken at high speed.
A special type of blacktop, which does not soften in the heat of summer, has been used in order to provide maximum grip and fast lap times. Concrete curbs and 2 meter wide rumble strips also enhance the racing experience.
The Karts:
The karts are JB Revolution pro-karts with twin Honda GX160 four stroke engines of 5.5Hp each. Gearing is set to give a top speed of 50mph, although if the track were longer they could accelerate up to 70mph plus. That’s pretty quick when your bums only a few inches off the deck.
The Race:
The endurance race format is a team event (generally 2-3 to a team). The object being to cover the greatest number of laps in the allotted time. Each driver spends approx 25 minutes at the wheel (including 5 min. practice), which means in teams of three the race itself will be one hour long. All teams are on the track at the same time so overtaking, pit stops and strategy play a huge part in determining the eventual winner. A display screen near the pits keeps everyone up to date on the leaders and slowcoaches.
