It's great value for your money & everything you need to climb (and abseil back down again!) is included. Sitting pretty right on the edge of the Trossachs National Park you'll find this farm estate that is home to this activity centre & a holiday park. It's just west of Stirlingshire & offers a huge range of things to do. You're going to be here to climb. The centre has a purpose-built climbing tower with various routes of varying levels of difficulty to climb. We have to admit when you first stand at the bottom it looks a long way up to the top but you'll be surprised how high you can climb when you put your mind to it. Helping you with your first foray into sport climbing at this Stirlingshire venue is Ross the Boss & his team of instructors. They're all great fun with all the banter & really good at spurring you on too.

You're making good progress using your hands & feet to reach for the holds. As you near the top of the wall you realise that once you're there you have to come back down. That's when you get to abseil. It takes a bit of guts to begin with but once you're into the rhythm it feels really good. Having conquered the wall there should be time for you to take on one last climbing challenge. This Gartmore centre boasts a very special climbing tree. Yep it's an actual pine tree with actual climbing holds fitted to the trunk. Hold your nerve for this one as the higher you climb the better the views of the Trossachs National Park & Loch Lomond are!

Become a Flyboard rider with free flowing flair on these adrenaline-packed have-a-go sessions! What we love about this venue is that you will be taking to the fly board on the sea at this the country's very first coastal fly board centre! Feel like a superhero ninja in a wetsuit out on the blue waters of the south coast as you head out of Poole harbour & onto the open seas around Sandbanks beach for this amazing experience that will literally have you flying out of the water on a board. Maybe we should explain how it works. You get kitted out in full wet suit buoyancy aid & helmet then you'll put your feet into a pair of Hyperlite boots that are fixed to the fly board. The board itself is a bit like a plastic skateboard but with heavy duty jet hoses underneath to propel you in the air. When you first look at the gadget you'll think:' There's now way I'll be able to balance & stand up on THAT!' but with expert flyboard tuition & a bit of determination you will succeed. Once out on the water & ready to fly you get yourself strapped into the board. The accompanying PWC (that's personal water craft) that provides the water for the hoses & your instructor who is controlling the thrust will wait for the OK from you then the water is released.......and as the pressure builds up in the hose the underwater propulsion will raise the board with you on it out of the water...and you're flying! The sensation of being raised into the air on a column of high pressure water is probably quite enough excitement for one day by the seaside
- & after 25 minutes out on the sea you'll probably be exhilarated but exhausted too. Don't forget this flyboard centre at Poole harbour near Bournemouth is the first & only location in the UK to offer you the chance to get to grips with the fly board on coastal waters rather than an inland lake.

Get set & ready for leaping & bounding around when you go coasteering in Cornwall! If exploring the coast cliffs coves & sea caves in a new & exciting way appeals to you then try a trip on one of the most exhilarating adventures of all
- coasteering your way along some of Newquay's beauty spots. The coasteering on offer in Newquay is a mix of rock climbing canyoning & cliff jumping all rolled into an action-packed traverse all over the cliff headlands of Cornwall. You might think you have to be a super strong swimmer & have bulging muscles to enjoy this experience but you don't. It's all about listening to the instructor following their guidelines & taking the plunge using their techniques. One thing's for sure you'll get plenty of time to enjoy nature's watery wonderland of coasteering Cornish style. In fact there's a great variety of sea scenery packed into a small area making it an ideal location for novice coasteerers. & it's also worth noting that the natural obstacles you'll face are tidal. At high tide there'll be plenty of jumps & at low tide there are more caves & wildlife to see but at whatever maritime moment you choose the tackle Cornwall's finest coasteering you'll get to places well off the beaten track & inaccessible to even the most adventurous holidaymaker swimmers setting off from the beach! The only way we can describe this half day experience is that it's like setting a bird's (or perhaps seagull?) eye view & you get to see what only the seals see as you experience some of Cornwall's finest views. Coasteering safety requirements mean you are covered head to toe in a thermal neoprene suit & armed with specialist equipment including a life jacket so you will be safe whilst engaging in the thrill & rush of jumping from the cliffs swimming through caves & scrambling. As long as you can swim no previous experience is required. It doesn't matter how fit you are the trip will be tailored to be as mild or wild as you want. Experience a total contrast as you take in the most beautiful coastal surroundings Cornwall has to offer… & then throw yourself into them! Your coasteering Cornwall guides are part of an environmentally conscious company that tries to minimise the impact it makes on the natural environment. They avoid coasteering the same sites around Newquay too often & ensure that all course participants understand the impact they have on the natural surroundings when taking part in each activity. Not only will you have a great time
- but will also be learning about the stunning coastline surrounding you.
