If you've never tried Via Ferrata before it's time to get your outdoor gear on & have a go at this exhilarating climbing sport! Via Ferrata literally means 'iron road' in Italian & is the name used to describe the metal steps & bridges that were installed along treacherous mountains passes in the Alps in the First World War to help soldiers traverse strategic Alpine crossing points. The name has stuck & now it's a really popular leisure pursuit in Europe. The Via Ferrata you'll be tackling is actually the very first in Scotland & only the second set up in the whole of the UK. & the team has chosen a stunning spot for it. You'll be scaling the heights within touching distance of the Grey Mare's Tail waterfall in Kinlochleven. One of Scotland's biggest cascades of fast-flowing water the route you'll be clambering tops out at around 90m just above the mouth of the waterfall at 85m. Yes it really is as impressive as it sounds. The rock face has been equipped with metal steps called 'staples'
- because that's exactly what they look like (albeit totally massive ones!) wooden planks metal cable bridges & ladders too. You'll be kitted out with a body harness & a karabiner so that you are attached at all times so logic tells you you can't actually fall very far but it's still pretty hectic. In fact we can honestly say the moving up the granite face isn't that challenging physically it's all about how high it is & how exposed you feel. If you dare look behind you you'll see the waters of Loch Leven glistening in the background. Look sideways & there's the waterfall (you might even feel the spray in your face!) & look down (eek!) & you'll see the instructors grinning at you as they shout words of encouragement. As you negotiate the metal that tests your mettle nothing can describe the feeling as you haul yourself over the final ledge. You feel so alive so pleased with yourself that you conquered this impressive Via Ferrata. Stand up take a moment to catch your breath & then take a look around you. stunning isn't it? & all the more incredible when you think without those metal rungs & cables there's no other way of getting up to that viewpoint. Of course Via Ferrata certainly isn't for everyone but it is a novel way of scaling the granite that doesn't require enormous physical strength or climbing skill but you will definitely have to have a head for heights. We offer lots of high-speed activities here at Intothe Blue.co.uk but despite the near walking pace of this activity we think this Via Ferrata with views across the Scottish hills guarantees the highest thrills. Isn't it time you climbed the iron road?

Our Orwell River Cruises give you a unique way to see the sights around Ipswich! This wonderful half day barge cruise is like stepping back in time to an era when working barges filled the rivers transporting cargo & passengers around the country & beyond. These days the fully restored beautiful boats are a rare sight on the water. With the aim of preserving sail-barges & keeping them working by offering cruises on the Orwell & other English rivers Stephanie & Paul the husband & wife team who set up this company are incredibly passionate & dedicated. The company now boasts a fleet of five fully-restored sail barges namely SB Hydrogen Thistle Reminder & Kitty. & if like us you were wondering what the 'SB' stands for it's ' Sailing Barge'! As soon as you step aboard you'll appreciate the amount of work that has gone in to restore these vessels to offer comfy seating corner bars & convivial dining areas all using high quality marine woods. Able to comfortably welcome 50 guests onboard whilst cruising gently along the River Orwell these barges certainly offer a unique experience on the inland waters of Suffolk. These Orwell river cruises set sail from Ipswich dock & head through the lock onto the main section of the River Orwell. Slipping quietly past the impossibly picturesque Pin Mill on the barge you'll cruise under sail all the way to bustling Harwich harbour before turning around to head back to Ipswich. During the experience you may be able to assist the skipper & mate as well as enjoying the views & a light ploughman's lunch with dessert that has been freshly prepared in the galley kitchens of these historic barges. ...

Vineyard Tour & Lunch For Two

Take a peek around a rather unique family business when you go wine tasting in Scotland - where fruit wines ciders and juices are all produced using locally grown fruits. We think this is the tastiest winery we've ever come across - and it's in the heart of the very picturesque Scottish countryside.On paper this place sounds just like any other vineyard. A small concern that takes pride on fermenting and bottling their own wines offering tours tastings and refreshments in their own on site cafe. What makes this wine tasting in Scotland different is the wine itself. Forget using grapes this is all about making the most of the very best of Scottish agriculture including strawberries raspberries and elderberries to name but a few to create fabulously fruity wines.If you've never tasted a
fruit wine before this funky little winery in Scotland offers a superb introduction to the rainbow of colours and flavours that wines made from fruits berries and leaves boast. This experience includes a tour of the winery where you'll learn that these fruit wines are matured for at least a year to make sure they have a good 'vinosity' (we like this word - and your expert will guide will explain it to you!).Of course you don't just get to look at how the fruits are fermented or simply watch the fancy automated bottling process you do actually get to find out what these unusual Scottish brews actually taste like. You will enjoy a tutored tasting of several of the winery's leading bottles including a sparkling fruit wine cider and a classic from the cellar such as the much loved strawberry
wineThis Scottish vineyard is set in a restored 18th century homestead owned by Ron and Judith Gilles who have been creating and nurturing and tasting their wines produced here in Scotland since 1987. And we love how they describe their Cairn o'Mohr winery: 'Nothing fancy just the best and freshest ingredients we can get grow or find'. The berries flowers and leaves that are used are all lovingly blended to create very distinctive wines and on this experience you will discover everything about the wine making process from this wonderfully eccentric team!Your wine tasting in Scotland experience actually starts in the best way possible with a tasty two course lunch usually a soup or salad with a stovie which is a classic Scottish stew-type dish. You'll then tour the production process before
enjoying that informal tasting session so you get a real feel for the wines made here in Perthshire. Before you head back home you'll be presented with a bottle of vino from the homestead to take away with you.
