Extended Microlight Flying
The planes that most of us travel in are so big you hardly even know that you're in the air. Well, things couldn't be more different flying in a microlight. In fact a trip on one of these nippy, lightweight little flying machines is about as close as you can get to being a bird. It's an exhilarating experience - and one which needs strong nerves and a real head for heights! You'll start off with a short briefing from your instructor, before hopping into your microlight. There are two types of microlight: 'flex wing', based on the frame of a hang glider; or 'fixed wing', which is similar to a conventional light aircraft. They all have dual controls, so you're in safe hands at all times. You'll be impressed by the speed and manoeuvrability of these little craft and your instructor will encourage you to have a go at the controls yourself (we don't reckon you'll need much encouragement). If you get a taste for it, your flying time can count towards a microlight Private Pilot's Licence.

Chocolate Making Workshop for Four
Casanova called it the 'elixir of love'. French doctors used to prescribe it to women with broken hearts. Scientists say it stimulates the release of endorphins, the 'happy hormones'. Need we say more? This fabulous chocolate workshop begins with an informative talk on the history of chocolate, either by a master chocolatier, who served as the Head Pastry Chef at the Ritz Hotel in both London and Paris, or by an experienced chocolatier. Sample the chocolate fountain before you move onto the creative part of the workshop, making truffle fillings, then dipping your truffles into Belgian chocolate and decorating them with a variety of toppings and coverings. As a delicious memento of your experience you'll take home between 40 and 50 Belgian chocolates each, all wrapped, designed and made by you, to share with friends and family - or to save as a special treat.

Bird of Prey Falconry Experience for Three
Get up close and personal with some of nature's magnificent and regal birds of prey. You'll learn all about the art of falconry and have a chance to try it for yourselves. Your experience starts with a tour of the bird of prey centre, where you'll get up close and personal with different species and learn what makes a hawk a hawk, a falcon a falcon and an owl an owl. Then you'll get expert tuition in the art of falconry and have time to handle the birds so that you get comfortable with them and they get comfortable with you. Next it's time to try out falconry for real - you'll fly some birds to the fist, watching them show off their skills and getting some thrills medieval-style when a top predator comes into land on your glove.
