Take you & your merry band off to the countryside & partake in a some rather fine sporting group activities at this Bedfordshire outdoor centre & shooting ground! One of the biggest & best-equipped in the UK the star activity here is the clays but there is a wealth of other crazy activities to try too…so let's get stuck in. What's so great about this centre located north of Bedford is the fact that it is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. That means the engine noise the sound of guns firing & your whoops of delight won't be disturbing anyone so you can really go for it & make the most of your full day out at here trying the pick of activities. The clay set up is really impressive. There's a huge tower in the midst of all the various shooting stands & we can only imagine what it's like when those clays are being fired off at height. Along with top notch facilities comes great coaching too so your group will learn a lot here in Berkshire as you try this first shooting activity. There are also air rifles & pistols. Once again it's all about the choice of gun for your physique & taking onboard your stance & breathing. A real test of nerves drop down targets might fall down when you get a direct hit but then they come right back up again to see if you can do it all over again with your next shot. Time to lay down your guns for a bow. Normally modern recurve bows are used for archery but there's a chance you might also be able to have a go with a crossbow too for that full Robin Hood experience. At this point we should say this Bedfordshire venue provides a tasty buffet lunch so the whole group can refuel for the afternoon's activities in the great outdoors. The next couple of hours will test those driving skills. Can you take on the axel-twisting actions on the rutted terrain in a big beefy 4x 4 vehicle? Will you be the one heckling in that back-seat driving way when you're a passenger? Or will you be gritting your teeth as you very slowly but surely churn your way through the mud? Last but not least your day of fabulous activities ends with the ever-popular quad bikes. This Bedfordshire-based bunch has devised a testing track that'll push you to the limit on your All Terrain Vehicle as you try & take on everything the land throws at you. This group activities day in Bedfordshire may seem costly at first glance but when divided by six it's only £166.50 per person for a full on day of outdoor pursuits & driving with all the gear superb tuition & even a nice lunch included too. We think this is excellent value for your money & the easiest & quickest way ever to organise that group day out! ...
