Dolphin and Whale Watching for Four
Lots of people assume that the most exciting thing you're likely to see in the coastal waters round Britain is a mackerel. In fact there is a staggering variety of marine and bird life living happily round our shores - and with this experience you'll get the chance to see it for yourselves. You'll be welcomed at the marina, before going aboard your boat and heading out. You might see bottlenose, common or striped dolphins, porpoises, basking sharks, minke whales, fin whales, humpback whales (yes, whales and sharks around Britain!), atlantic grey seals and visiting seasonal sea birds including skuas, sabine's gulls and the fabulously-named sooty shearwaters. Of course these are all wild animals so we can't guarantee which ones may make an appearance on the day, but we can guarantee a fascinating and eye-opening experience.

Lotus Exige Driving Experience
Lotus Exige: sexy, cool and very fast. A car with impeccable traction that can accelerate, stop and change direction quicker than most. It has an all-aluminium tub, lightweight body, high-revving 190bhp Toyota engine and effective aerodynamic wings and splitters, which all help to create a very focused driving machine. Try it out for yourself at Thruxton, the UK's fastest circuit. You'll get a briefing, then three instructor-driven laps to help you get a feel for the car and the track. Then drive seven laps in the Exige yourself. After a break to catch your breath, drive a further seven laps to really get to grips with this fabulous vehicle. To round off your experience you'll get a full-throttle, white knuckle passenger ride with your instructor.

There is even a film to watch so you can see how the real pros race. The excitement builds as drivers' battle it out for a place in the championship finals, with trophies for the winners (and certificates for all).

Outdoor Endurance Go Karting
In these days of touchy-feely fairness, it's not often you get to unleash your competitive side. So try karting for an evening of fast and furiously competitive fun. This fantastic outdoor circuit is where a lot of top F1 drivers, including Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, first got into racing before being lured away by the big bucks. You'll be behind the wheel of a Pro 390cc Kart, which reaches speeds of up to 70mph (and believe us, that will feel twice as fast in a kart). Start off with a video and safety briefing, followed by ten minutes of practice laps to get used to the karts and the 1,200m outdoor international circuit. Then it's time for you to pit your driving skills against the other participants in a thirty minute endurance race that is ideal for novices and experts alike. Every driver will receive printed lap times and there is a trophy presentation for the top three drivers. Do you have the competitive edge to cross the finish line first?
