Indoor Rock and Ice Climbing for Two
Got a head for heights and nerves of steel? Challenge yourself with a whole day of climbing at the National Ice Climbing Centre - the UK's top indoor rock and ice climbing facility. Even if you're a complete stranger to crampons, this is the place to learn the ropes (pun intended). After being kitted out with climbing equipment (all included) you'll start off with your feet still firmly on the ground during a full briefing on safety and basic climbing techniques. Then put theory into practice with an hour and a half rock climbing session, scaling the indoor wall with expert instruction. After lunch (not included) at the on-site cafe, you'll tackle the ice wall. Using a top-roped belay safety system, you'll climb the 50ft wall of ice, neve (frozen snow) and a variety of precarious angles to give you an exhilarating (and occasionally terrifying) introduction to the sport. You'll be amazed at what you can achieve! At the end of the day you'll receive a photo and certificate to take home.

Sailing Day for Three
Splice the main brace, shiver me timbers and other such nautical nonsense... there'll be none of that on this experience, which offers an introduction to sailing in a friendly and informal atmosphere aboard the 34ft yacht Half Nelson. It's great fun - exhilarating and relaxing at the same time, and the best way to experience the beauty and freedom of the open sea. After coffee, biscuits and a safety briefing, your Yachtmaster skipper will introduce you to the basics of sailing and in no time at all you'll be sailing down to the Hamble or Cowes. After a lunch break ashore you'll be back on the water, and if you're feeling energetic you can put theory into practice and take an active part in the afternoon's sailing on the Solent or Southampton Water. If you'd rather, you can just sit back in the cockpit and let the crew do the hard work while you relax and enjoy an afternoon at sea. All refreshments aboard are also included. All in all a very civilised approach to a wonderful pastime.

Enjoy an adrenaline-packed day on the water in a top class J/109 proven performance racing yacht. These boating beauties ooze a very sleek profile but they are both stable and easy to sail. For the technical among you, they feature retractable bowsprit and asymmetric spinnaker systems and two-cabin interiors with standing headroom down below.

First you'll have tea, coffee and pastries, before getting kitted out in your yachting gear. Then it's time to head out onto the water with your skipper, who'll demonstrate the racing tactics and techniques you'll need. After a light lunch on board you'll put all your new found skills into practise with a series of short races. You'll be up against other boats, racing round buoys at sea - a fun and exciting challenge. At the end of the day the winning team will enjoy a race presentation.
