Big Toys - Drive a Bus, Juggernaut or Fire Engine
Ever dreamed of being king of the road? Well here's your chance to prove you can handle more than just a people carrier. Choose from one of three colossal vehicles: a juggernaut, a double decker bus or a fire engine. Pick the juggernaut for a 430HP articulated lorry, complete with 40ft box trailer. Or a fire engine which will be either a 13 tonne Dennis or a Scania 82 Fire Appliance. Or try the 10-tonne Leyland Atlantean or Volvo D10M double decker bus - both models stand at a huge 14ft and don't forget you'll have over 31ft of vehicle behind you! Courses begin with a familiarisation briefing of your vehicle of choice. Then move onto some of the challenges that you could expect when driving these workhorses - slaloms, roundabouts and reversing your vehicle into coned areas are just some of the options to test you. Taking control of any of these monsters requires skill and concentration, but with an experienced instructor by your side you can expect the drive of a lifetime!

Mountain Climbing on Ben Nevis or Glencoe
Got a head for heights, nerves of steel and a love of the great outdoors? Don't mind chilly Scottish weather or the occasional midge bite? Then head to the Highlands for a day's climbing on one of the world's classic mountaineering routes. With the services of a private guide, you'll tackle a route up either Ben Nevis or Glencoe. It will be challenging, exhausting and occasionally nerve-racking - but also uplifting, inspiring and breathtakingly beautiful. You'll be supplied with all technical equipment, and your guide will place all ropes and protection, leaving you to get on with enjoying your spectacular surroundings in complete safety. The day will combine walking, hiking and climbing as you go high into the mountain, and ends with a thorough debrief at the National Ice Climbing Centre. You'll receive a CD-Rom with photos of your day and a mug of hot chocolate, before rewarding your aching limbs with a sauna and steam.

Tall Ship Sailing Day for Four
For a truly stunning day at sea you can do no better than a day's sailing aboard a rigged tall ship. These magnificent and luxurious craft, J R Tolkien (two-mast topsail schooner) and Artemis (three-mast barque), have masts over 30 metres high and are perfect for a day of traditional sailing. You'll begin with refreshments and a safety briefing from your experienced crew, before sailing out onto the Solent. If you want to enjoy some hands-on activity, then there's always a job to do on board, from raising the sails to helming the ship, and the friendly crew will show you how it's done. If you'd rather, you can relax on deck and chat to the crew about the sailing life. A buffet lunch and afternoon tea will be served on board during the day.

Indoor Rock Climbing
This is the perfect way to try out rock climbing, even if you're currently a complete stranger to crampons. Using a state-of-the-art indoor climbing wall, you'll learn the ropes (pun intended) without any chance of your climb being ruined by downpours or midge attacks. First off you'll be briefed on safety and basic climbing techniques - all necessary stuff, though it won't make much sense while your feet are still firmly on the ground. So then it's time to put theory into practice on the instruction bay. You'll learn the basics of climbing and abseiling, including how to tie in, belay, and the moves you need to scale the aretes, slabs, overhangs and grooves on your way to the top - all with constant encouragement and supervision from your expert instructors. You're in for a challenging, exciting and fun time - and you'll be amazed at what you can achieve. All the climbing equipment is included, and after your climb you'll receive a photograph and a certificate to take home.
