The Port Harvest in Portugal for Two
Come and discover the complexities of port production in Portugal - and take part in the colourful fun of the harvest of this rich, fortified wine. There's nothing like immersing yourself in a good bottle of port, but take it one step further and really soak up the rich and sugary flavours when you join the workers of the informal association of small, rising star producers known as the 'Douro Boys' and tread the grapes. Both of the Quintas that you visit, the Dutch owned Niepoort and the Quinta do Passadouro, are renowned for their tawny and vintage ports. You'll also get to taste several excellent Douro table wines and travel on the train route made famous by Michael Palin, up through the breathtaking Douro vineyards. You'll stay in a three star hotel in the centre of Oporto near the river front, a great place to relax in the evening. This unusual and special weekend will leave your tastebuds tantalised and your legs stained red!

Overnight Ghost Hunt
Investigate the paranormal on a spooky all-night visit to a haunted hotspot. All of our locations have had recent reports of spectral activity, and with psychics, mediums and a host of specialist equipment (we're not talking ghostbusters here, this is hi-tech!), your chances of experiencing some of the mysteries of the 'other world' are magnified. You'll start with a health and safety briefing and a psychic and equipment workshop. Then you'll go for a guided ghost walk, with a historian on hand to back up any psychic instincts you have about the venue and its spirits. Next you'll split into groups to take part in experiments and vigils, before re-assembling for a group discussion. At some venues a light buffet is included. Tea and coffee throughout the night will help to keep your energy levels up - though with an experienced team on hand to help you make the most of this adrenaline-fuelled ghost hunt, you won't want to go to sleep. You may not even dare close your eyes!

North Pole Fly In
Journey over sparkling ice and snow to one of the last true frontiers left on the planet - the geographic North Pole. After reaching Svalbard, Norway's northernmost outpost, you'll board a jet to Camp Borneo, followed by a flight in a polar-proven helicopter over the Arctic Circle, home of polar bears, walruses and seals. You'll land as close to the geographic North Pole as possible, where you'll enjoy champagne and the unique opportunity to run around the world. From here it's all south, returning to Svalbard for a snowmobile day exploring the icy wilderness and the majestic Tempelfjord. Return flights from Svalbard to Camp Borneo, a snowmobile tour, some of your meals, three nights' accommodation and specialist equipment are all included.
