Family Llama Trek for Two Adults and Two Children
A llama trek? In England?? Yes, that's right, llama trekking is no longer the preserve of herdsmen in the Peruvian Andes. Llamas are perfect companions for an English country walk - affectionate, intelligent and happy to carry all your stuff! There's also something relaxing about their gentle presence, which makes a countryside trek even more pleasurable. You'll receive a warm and informative welcome in the reception room, before taking the reins of your llama and heading out on a two-hour trek. Your fluffy new friend will happily carry your rucksack and camera as you walk through beautiful English countryside, a mixture of woodland and open fairway. Each trek is guided and there will always be one llama shared between an adult and a child. There'll be plenty of great photo opportunities and afterwards you can meet the rest of the herd of 50-odd llamas. You are also welcome to picnic at the farm.

Rapid Running for Four
Get ready for some thrilling white water action - with this experience you'll be shooting the churning rapids and jumping the falls in... well, in a duckie. It sounds a bit wet (in more ways than one), but duckies are great fun - they're small inflatable open rafts, holding just three people, so you're closer to the action than in regular white water rafts. Your two-hour session will begin with a safety briefing and instruction on handling the duckie, then you'll head out onto the river. There'll be three people in each duckie, including the instructor, as you head off down the river and hit the rapids. The white water grading system goes from one (gentle) to six (too rough to offer commercially) - this centre is graded between one and three, meaning that it's great fun for beginners but still offers some real thrills and challenges. We're confident that you'll take to this like a duckie to water...

Family Falconry Encounter
Let's face it, there are only so many times that the kids are going to get excited when parents say 'Let's go to the cinema!' or 'Let's go to the museum!'. It's time to try something completely different - a trip to North Yorkshire's premier falconry venue, to meet some birds of prey up close. This experience includes the opportunity for everyone to handle four different birds of prey, from an eagle owl to a falcon, and find out what makes a hawk a hawk, a falcon a falcon and an owl an owl. Once you're comfortable with the birds, you'll have the chance to fly some of them - there's nothing quite like the feeling you get when a top predator swoops in to land on your glove. You'll also go for hawk walk, where you'll learn some more about the basics of falconry. And why not take the opportunity to ask your knowledgable and friendly falconer some questions and have your pictures taken with the birds too. A light lunch for all back at the falcon barn is included.
