LET'S GET PHYSICAL

Of course, many of you reading this may well be keen golfers. Golf is one of the most popular sporting activities in the world and as a result there are thousands of courses all across the globe to test both high and low handicappers alike. Whilst a simple round at your local club may satisfy you, why not see if you can arrange longest drive and closest to the pin competitions to enhance the fun. Breaks away from the area incorporating stopovers and meals are a great idea and remember, you are not just tied to these shores. Before booking anywhere, pay careful consideration to the ability of the group as many courses require handicap certificates and of course, make sure that the novices in your group are aware of the dress code.

If the thought of shooting your mates has ever taken your fancy (let’s hope not) then how about doing so with a paintball or laser gun. Available at both indoor and outdoor locations around the country, these are high-octane activities that will encourage teamwork and destruction at the same time – now you can’t say that everyday! If you are looking for more sophisticated use of a weapon, then perhaps archery or clay pigeon shooting is your forte. A test of steady hand and nerve, why not add a competitive edge with an engraved trophy or prize for the best. If shooting of any discipline tickles you pink, take aim and fire at an activity that really hits the mark (we apolgise for that terrible pun!).

If getting your leg over before the honeymoon is what you’re after, then why not go Pony Trekking or Mountain Biking. With numerous trails scattered around the country, this can be a fun way of getting out and about and viewing the beautiful countryside the UK has on offer, not to mention the fact that you will be within touching distance of some great country pubs. For those a little more adventurous why not head overseas for your Biking or Trekking, or even go for a more adrenalin filled ski, snowboard, sandboard or mountain board jaunt.

For the action-packed break, the options discussed in this article should provide something for everyone.
