The aim is to shoot clays as they are fired from a range of traps, each simulating the different flight patterns of game birds. On the Island we use a venue set in a 'Chine', which is a small valley with a stream leading to the sea, with amazing Island views. Each venue has several stands to give you a shot at the clay from lots of different angles. Smaller, lighter guns are also available for ladies. Minimum group size is 6. 4x4 DRIVING
It doesn't matter how fit you are, how old you are or whether you are complete beginners because we provide instruction for all levels and experience to suit each group.
Driving off-road requires particular skills to ensure safety for driver and passengers, and to limit damage to the vehicle. All drivers must hold a current UK driving licence Minimum group size is 2. Your day will consist of:
MOUNTAIN BIKING
Mountain Bikes are designed to ride on rough terrain, with wide high grip tyres and low gear ratio's. What this means, is it's not as difficult as it looks! Part of the fun of Mountain Biking is taking lots of pit stops to enjoy the scenery, have a drink or just a chat! There are hundreds of miles of routes suited to all levels and fitness abilities so everyone can have a go. LASER COMBAT GAMESYou are deep undercover and can hear the enemy approaching. With baited breath you line up your sight. Then, without warning, you jump out and fire. Fortunately, with laser guns all you do is de-activate your enemy's gun. But it is still pretty satisfying. Set in dense woodland Laser Combat Games involves two teams with everyone kitted out with camouflage overalls, helmet and laser gun. The basic object of the games is to defeat the enemy and claim their base camp. It's back to basics,
ruthless, muddy and exhilarating! HORSE RIDING
