World Class Half Day Yacht Racing
In 1968 Sir Robin Knox-Johnston became the first man in history to sail non-stop single handed around the globe. He pledged that one day men and women from all walks of life with no prior sailing knowledge would be able to follow in his footsteps (well, in the wake of a yacht anyway) and the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race was born. Since the first sailors cast off on their voyage, 1300 men and women have competed in this unique race around the continents in some of the fastest yachts of their kind. Now you can experience what it's like to be part of the sailing team on one of these extraordinary 60 or 68 ft yachts, actively taking part and learning how to steer, handle sails and haul sheets. You'll learn all about life at sea from your captain and as you cut through the seas with the wind in your hair, you'll understand why so many before you have fallen in love with the ocean. This breathtaking trip is exhausting, but exhilarating.

Kids Snowboarding for Two
Snowboarding is brilliant fun, but in most of Britain we don't get much snow! Moving to Norway would be a bit over the top though, so instead we've sorted out this cool snowboarding experience at SnowDome, the UKs top real snow centre. It's perfect for complete beginners, whether you just want to try out something new or whether you want to get some practice in before going on holiday. First off your instructor will run through all the safety stuff and go over all the equipment. Then you'll try out some basic moves and find out whether you're a 'regular foot' or 'goofy foot' - that is, whether your leading leg is your left or your right (and dont worry - there's nothing wrong with being goofy footed!). Move onto gaining control of the toe edge of the board and going down the slope zigzagging from left to right and back again - the 'toe side falling leaf' manoeuvre. Don't worry if it sounds a bit hard - your instructor will give you loads of help and you''ll have a great time.

Kids Cowboy Adventure for Six
Transport yourself back to the days of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with this wild west adventure for the cowboy or cowgirl in you. Your experience begins with a welcome and introduction to the Western Paint horses, Boston, Gypsy and friends. You'll meet your own trusty steed, saddle up and head off for a one hour riding lesson in the Western Riding Arena - western style. It's easier to learn and feels more secure than riding English-style, so it's great even for beginners. Next you'll be shown how to try your luck at lassoing the cow-horns, the finally it's time for a well-earned feast of ranch burger and beans. You'll also get certificates to take home to show everyone that you're official Junior Cowboys.
